Thanks! How should I clean and polish it.. If I put flits on it will it eat at the finish?

1. Scrubbing Bubbles for scum
2. 30 minute boil in plain water for internal scum (and critters)
3. Barbicide per instructions on bottle for critters
4. Shine with Maas and/or Brasso
5. Mineral oil soak to lube up internals
6. Rinse in hot water to get the mineral oil off the outside

Thanks, where can I get mineral oil at? What brand do you recommend?
