Alternatives to protecting steel armor?
#20
For keeping my Iron weapons and armor (or steel for that matter) polished I use a Wood Ash and water for the polish. Wipe clean and dry after!

Then coat with 50/50 bees wax melted in olive oil. This is a medieval recipe.
Once the wax drys buff to high shine.

The wax will prevent water damage. I need to do this with my helmet about once every couple of months.

But in a pinch, Remington makes a gun oil wipe (like a wet wipe) that can get me through till I have time for the polish and oil.
