Agreed on Renaissance Wax. Great product for protecting and spiffing up the looks of old wood. But if you are going to take a nice old gun out in what may be rough weather conditions, you can also use a high quality automobile wax on both wood and metal, like Collinite automobile wax. I have used in for over 10 years to protect guns before going duck hunting. Better by far than oil. The few splashes of salt water or freezing rain over the years never had a chance to do any damage. The automotive wax provided great protection.
