Default What To Use On The Inside Paneling?

From what I can gather, our unit was used very little, hardly at all. The paneling is dry and wants to sop up any humidity and I'm not sure what product would be best to use. Some time ago, in the house, I used a liquid with beeswax in it from Lehman's (Amish store I order from online) and it worked well in an old house. The paneling is very light, so everything shows up on it. Suggestions would be appreciated.

There is a product called Scott's Liquid Gold for wood. We used it on the paneling in our previous house. You can google it to find out more. It is a cleaner and preservative. It is made in the USA.

Default Rx for wood paneling

I also vote for Scotts liquid Gold. I use it in my home and on the cupboards and wood in the HiLo. It comes in a spray can. Cheapest at Walmart. I have quite a bit of wainscoting in my home and other wood work. Does a great job of cleaning and perking up wood.

Thanks for the suggestions. I should be able to find them locally too! The paneling is the worst of it. We have a humidity gauge and with the sun on the Hi-Lo, humidity runs about 30 to 40%, really low for KS but probably the sun/wind/heat combination lately.

I've used a couple of things on the wood in my trailer that work pretty good. Tung oil and Murphy Oil Soap. I try to do them about every 3-4 months.

If you choose to use Scott's Liquid Gold I would suggest you read the warnings on the label before using.

From what I have gathered, a gentleman in his 70s bought the trailer and was not able to take it out much before he passed on. It appeared to just sit I would guess closed up and under cover. The last owner had it for one year. I tested some of the "Orange Glo" yesterday and the paneling just lapped it right up. It is going to take a few times over to get it in shape. With the finished cabinet doors and drawers, they are good condition. Seems the paneling was maybe just stained?
