What a great effect you got with that man, awesome.
I want to do that to the 55 farm truck we have back home.

Yeah, just spray oil/penetrant and carnauba wax- gotta be non-abrasive. Wax dries too fast on old/dried out paint so it doesn't always "soak in" before it starts to harden, then you buff it off- the shine and color will be uneven. The point of wax is to seal the paint pores, dry hard, then you buff the surface of it smooth. The oil just keeps it from drying too fast, and it helps the wax get down into the pores of the paint better so the color is even. It takes more effort to get it all off since it doesn't dry for awhile, but you wanna get 95% off before it dries anyway.
