    @Mendel Leisk Did you switch to Linseed Oil as another post would suggest?

    Yeah I did. Just revisited it, did the rear about a week back, and the front the day before yesterday. It was the second time, I'm losing track but close to 1.5~2 year since last application. I knew it was likely not needed, and the first application was holding up good, but I like to "do two coats".

    Boiled linseed btw.

    I have rust on my driver's ide door bottom of the door where the seam and drain holes are. Thoughts on treating this without grinding it off?
