Best way to care for original 1940 paint

[alkay3]

I have a 1940 Chevrolet 1-1/2 Ton truck my grandfather bought new in 1940. It has the original paint on the truck. What are the best products and the best way to continue to care for the paint finish on this 71 year old vehicle? The truck is stored inside and only used for special occasions. The finish is dull at this time. Thanks

It's a long read, but very comprehensive. I can attest to the effectiveness of the process on my own classic Chevy.
