'feeding' your paint

Something popped into my mind... A memory from 1988... I was a soldier, and living above my family was another family... From one of the Dakota's, I forget which one. Anyway, one weekend as I prepared to go in, I had duty, I went outside and saw the guy from upstairs rubbing Crisco onto his car. His wife was seated on a couch watching. I asked what they were doing. She told me that in order to keep their cars paint looking like new they had to 'feed' it by rubbing it with Crisco twice a year.

Okay, sounds insane to me, anyone else ever hear of this behavior?
