Frame preservation

It is my intention to use the bike for Classic Bike track-days and Vintage parades.
I do not want to "restore " the frame, rather stabilise it in it's present form. I believe the phrase is "Patina" .
Many other bikes at these events present in a similar condition and are well received..
Suggestions please on the best way to actively preserve the frame structure, the only oxidisation present is of the lightest surface variant.

I recognise that bike!!

You could do like the antique people do and apply some wax all over......

Not looking for a static sealer, more of an inert corrosion converter for whole frame.... Don't want my leathers covered in waxyol ...lol

I have had good luck with Penetrol.

Just wipe it on with a rag. Surface feels a little oily at first but that pretty much goes away. It helps to bring back a bit of the luster and preserve what is still there.

Penetrol ... is this silicone based ?

It says it oil based. Beyond that I have no idea.
