When I use Waxoyl I mix it with oil paint thinner "white spirits". 50/50 and use a hand held spray bottle to apply. Thinner evaporates leaving a thin wax film. Gary

I've found, in my 50 years of gun ownership, that aluminum foil is the best light rust remover. Use it on a dry surface. Rub away the rust. It will leave a light silvery film that you can then wipe off with a patch with a light oil such as Gunzilla on it. The Waxoyl sounds like a good idea for long term storage. I'll have to get some and try it.
