A great and easy wax is shine keeper from armstrong for wood. Does a nice job on running board rubber too. It's for vinyl floors. Lowes has it. Comes in gallon jug. Take a brush and brush into panel edge on door too. You don't want water down in that joint. Also, make sure the inside of the doors are sealed and the bottoms drilled for drainage. I've bee a woodworker for thirty years and did lots of boat work, trust me. Red oak and water don't get along. Another tip, where the outer door panel meets outer door frame. Remove inner door panel and caulk that joint with silicone or latex clear caulk, on the inside back edge. If that groove is not sealed or the edge of the plywood is not presealed you will get black stains. Also ply can delaminate. Putting a good coat of that wax down in the groove helps alot. Keeps wood from squeeking too. Hope this helps someone. Great to drive though, aren't they?
