We were taught to give our (light and heavy) vehicles a light coat of plain baby oil for parades , which we seemed to have a few of in the Australian Army. It makes the vehicle look terrific but lasts only a day. It also attracts dust but washes off easily with detergent after the parade. Just wiped on with a sponge or rag and even makes the tyres shine.

I still use baby oil when I run a vehicle in Anzac Day Parades, veterans reunion or car shows. Any other time it's back to olive drab lustreless.

Cheers
