They make a rust remover

I'm going to talk about this product one last time renaissance wax polish was invented in the 50's by scientists at the British museum at the palace or some such they wanted something that worked better than what was being used. this is what they came up with. they kept it for over 20 years before they let anyone know about it. the use it on most everything. leather medal glass paintings paper I hate saying this but you need to at least look it up if no try it or I feel your just narrow minded . some one here says if we don't share what we learn we will know nothing I feel if we as men never shared we'd still be in the caves here in the USA its used at the Smithsonian .NRA and several colleges and museums around the country so get over it

their use to se a color -dye -paste came in a tube called color???? that was real good it was made in Germany or some where over there. came in several shades of the cream colors and a lot of others . they are so hard to match the sprays I'd stay away from the shoe type polishes like meltonion it will polish but you won't get much if any dye out of it. . if the surface is worn off good luck. I'd use a neutral polish use as for cleaning I'd wipe it down lightly with a stuff called solvent #2 I'd test it first though. then I'd try the neutral polish. theirs some stuff sold by amazon that won't harm at all its called renaissance micro-crystalline wax polish . I've used it on leather,wood metal ,ect google it , watch it and try it and then be amazed
