Peculiar noise when car is running

[Rob Doe]

Under the heading of annoyances:

Hi, I am wondering what folks do with original paint unrestored Model A's to bring up some shine and protect what paint is still on the car. I have a car that has probably not been washed in 40 years and seems to have a lot of original paint. I would like to know what products other folks are using. Thanks, Rick.
