I doubt that many of you guys are really into Patina.. but if you are, I read about a neat trick to give it a little sheen and preserve it. After reading, I tested it on my engine cover. A little shiny at first but tames down a bit with some dry cloth buffing. Still can't decide if I want to do the whole truck! Provides protection for about 3 months, doesn't attract or hold dirt and water will actually bead up on it...
