Hi Gentlemen

Thanks for all the good advice! The reason I ask is I'm planning on having a good solid Contour shipped from the western part of the country. Having seen what our moist WNY environment does to unprotected pot-metal within a few years, I intend to take steps to protect what is original and well-preserved on the car.

Removing and coating the backside of the pot-metal trim pieces one at a time is part of the plan along with frequent waxing. The organic raw linseed oil applied in light, thin coats and dried thoroughly sounds like a good plan.
