Thanks for the info. I am a bit scared too, and will look into the trying something else. If I find something that works I'll let you know. I left a few parts of it rusty, like some of the nails, just to keep it antique looking, but I would like to have the body super shiny.

Based on what I've found online, I think I may just have to apply shellac on it again. The car wax is supposed to make it shiny, and if it comes out looking dull, that's a sign that the shellac is gone. There's a thread on this board that walks you through the whole process. It doesn't seem very difficult to do, especially if your machine is clean and only needs the shellac addition. I'm not sure how to add the thread link, but it was posted recently in this forum.
