haha actually I never asked myself why they would be always rubbing stuff down , it makes sense now..
I'm slightly concerned that the oil and rug system would work at the beginning, but with time I'd be afraid of water going through the steering tube where I won't be able to see what s really going on.
Also I was reading somewhere else that the clearcoat would eventually wear off and leave a yellowish tone? I was reading this on an old post on another forum, not sure

@dicki
you always see engineers in period dramas and old documentaries rubbing everything down with an oily rag, get some 3 in 1 oil on a cloth and give it a rub down, it'll shield it from water ingress and stop rust
alternatively a good wash and clean and clearcoat it
