Follow up. We all get a bit excited over nothing sometimes. So I’m a little excited. Well, I have good news! The boiled linseed oil I applied 2 weeks ago seems to keep that satin sheen . . . . . and it seems to be very water repellent too. After all, oil and water don’t mix very well, do they? I had my truck out in the rain tonight. Didn’t intend to let it get wet, but it was a gulley washer downpour. See pics. The water beads up just like a brand new wax job.
