No! Although it might bring up a temporary shine, oil is a petroleum-based product and petroleum ultimately destroys paint. (Think in terms of gasoline and paint remover.)

What to use to shine your car?

Aside from the standard storebought wax shines there are other ways to shine your car, The first thing you need is a good paint job on your car, if it is faded then purchase a product called a 'compounding' it is a very fine grit that will remove any oxidized paint (faded paint) from the paint surface. this alone will make it shine but it will need protection from the sun, dirt, etc. this can be done with any good wax. After all this work to get your shine on the car the one thing to remember is to keep it clean by washing it often, but of course the washing will remove the wax you put on it. so keeping the shine is hard work. in times past, chauffers who had to wash and wax the vehicles they drove had a 'trick' for keeping the shine on the car. when washing the car they put a cup of kerosine in the bucket of water they washed the car with. This left the car with the 'shine they wanted' but a word of caution if you try this: first it is flammable before it dries, then there OS the 'odor' of the kerosine and the kerosine can soften the paint so this would not be one that I would do very often, maybe only for special occasions because the shine especially on black paint is unbelievable! They is another benefit in using kerosine on your car, is that it will help prevent rust.
