Excuse me for going far back and talking again about the Rub'n buff for the gearbox. Looks amazing and I'd like to apply some to my Pantera gearbox but I'm wondering what temperature this wax can withstand and how resistant it is to oil or gas drips???? ?

I haven't put it into service yet, but i know of several people using it on vintage Mercedes aluminum valve covers for years and they all love it.

One note, the commonly used color is "Silver Leaf", but personally I find "Pewter" to look more correct as the silver leaf seems to me to be unnaturally bright.  The pewter color looks more like the natural aluminum to my eyes.   If your order it, a little bit goes a LONG way and you can order multiples of just one color or multi color packs.  The tubes are small, but just one tube will likely do the entire transaxle AND the bellhousing!!!  I also recommend using a combination of cloth, Q-tips & stiff tooth brushes for application, and of course, thoroughly clean the piece before application

and WEAR GLOVES or you'll be silver from fingertips to elbows in no time.

Let us know how it turns out for you.
