Ok y'all...listen to this one.
I was at a shop today waiting on some parts and was reading an older restoration magizine. I was reading the Q and A section and I almost crapped my pants when i read about this.
Turns out, this cat covers his paint in used motor oil and parks it in the sun for a few days to REJUVENATE old worn paint. He claims it works great. Has anyone ever heard of sucha thing?
He also claimed that after washing the excess oil off of it, to just maintain the paint as normal and wax it an usual intervals.

Is this an old timers trick, or just a crazy old timer?
