I was put on to it by a friend of mine who has a collection of 25 tractors and is local president of a tractor club.
He mixes linseed oil (can be used neat) with about 10% turps and either sprayed, brushed or wiped on. Although it dries off nice and shiny, it stays plastic enough to keep sealing the surface.
Particularly good for paintwork in need of preservation, rather than the option of respraying. Makes the tinwork look like it's been wiped down with an oily rag.
Just done mine, but haven't taken a photo yet.
PS - a litre each of linseed and turps cost about €7,00 in total.
