Renaissance Wax Polish , 200 ml

I purchased Ren Wax after speaking with high end gun dealers (20K plus) and they recommended it. Once I began using it on my firearms, I was convinced this was the finest polish/wax available. In particular, I had just recently purchased a 51 year old Colt with nickel finish that was flawless. Anyone familiar with nickel plating will understand my concern. Ren wax not only improved the look of the finish, it has protected it beyond my expectations. In addition, all my high-end/ high-polish blued firearms have been waxed (including the highly figured stocks). Absolutely flawless. No stick, no residue, and crystal clear. I have just finished cleaning an unsealed marble counter-top and then used Ren wax to seal and polish. I could not be happier. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind (as others have stated in these reviews:)1. Do not spread the wax with a cloth.... the cloth wicks too much wax into its fibers and you end up using far more than needed. I use disposable rubber gloves and simply dab my finger in the top of the polish and use that up on the surface I am polishing... truly, a little goes a long way.2. The wax hardens quickly. No big deal, just know that the longer it sits, the harder it is to remove... which really is not very difficult, but it is not just a wipe on/wipe off process if you are waxing anything of any size. Still, it is far easier to use than any other wax/polish I have encountered. Use a micro-fiber cloth to wipe it off... seems to work the best.3. This polish is very high value. Yes, it is a bit more expensive, but you use so little per item, it is actually cheaper in the long run... and a far superior product.4. After using it on numerous items, I have found no down side. It does what it is advertised to do. An extraordinarily fine product at a fair price.

Couldn't decide from reviews which of these would work better for my need, so ordered both on the theory that I could use the Renaissance for other furniture, too. Needed to treat the black marble top of an antique washstand (see photos) that looked "dry" and faded. Used the Renaissance Wax on half of the surface, then a "stripe" of the Goddard's on the untreated half. Both looked much better, as you can see. The R. Wax gives a slightly higher gloss, the Goddard had a softer shine. Both buffed out easily. I rubbed sections of both treated areas with a wet paper towel, and the R.Wax seemed a bit more resistant to being dulled by the wet towel.The Renaissance Wax has a distinct chemical odor & should be used in a ventilated space (altho it doesn't say this on the label); the odor dissipates in 10-15 minutes. The Goddard's had almost no odor, applies like a lotion. As others have stated, the 200ml amount of R. Wax should be enough to last (literally) a lifetime.Important to note: neither product improved the appearance of dull spots, just made them looked like a waxed dull spot. Guess I will have to try Lustro Italiano Etch Remover on those.

This is an excellent product for the preservation of wood and metal. It prevents rust and aging quite nicely. It WILL perform a fine cleaning action due to the petroleum solvents it contains which keep its ingredients in solution. It will not harm your items however. It was formulated by conservateurs who are trusted with the keeping of very valuable items, so it is trusted. Its well known and performs its job nicely. I usually wipe on a small amount and then wait for it to "harden" and then buff the solid layer away so that a nice finish remains. This protective layer is pretty hard and persistent, I only reapply if they item is used, such as tools or furniture. It is best used on display items or seldom used items and not every-day use tools or items, though it does work in such uses. For me at least, oil is better for such use.I will say, it has a distinct odor, but its not really a bad smell, but it is quite chemical-y. It will not stink up your items, the smell with dissipate after a few minutes. The wax itself in its jar will of course always retain its scent, so dont huff it continuously. It has no warning about the vapor in enclosed spaces, so I doubt its directly harmful and not that strong anyway. Still, use it properly.

I use this for firearms, optics protection, wood, and general metal protection. Especially items that go outdoors a lot and in the rain.After doing some research, I found this product is to be used in conjunction with other products to get the best effect. If you read stories about how museums prepare priceless artifacts you'll see they coat the product with many layers of things then finally seal it with a waxy substance of some sort. I believe the best way to use this product is with a bio-safe oil of some sort that doesn't have any sort of solvent in it.I only use this product for the exterior of firearms and never for storage. What I do is use a shaving brush and first coat the exterior of the firearm, wood, stock, or whatnot with Milcomm's MC3000 oil. I use a very light film/coat. On optics and wood, I don't use oil. I then let it absorb into the metal for a few minutes then wipe it off lightly with a towel. I then take the Renaissance Wax and using a microfiber towel spread it around the metal, plastic, wood, or anything with it. I let it sit for a second to harden then I buff it.I once went hunting with a shotgun that I prepared with the oil/renaissance wax and found that I could stay out in the rain and not worry. I also wax some pricey optics and other things - without oil - and found that they could go in the rain and I don't have to worry about rust or water buildup.I also use the wax for everyday use/carry items. My carry gun gets a coat of wax/oil mix on just the outside and I don't have to worry about being sweaty or keeping it in moisture area. For tools, such as my favorite axe for the yard, this wax has helped greatly in keeping it element free.I try to find more usage of this product. For one, it's great for usable items that you use everyday and want to protect.

I use it to finish stone carvings.

Wax has arrived without the lid on the can. How is that even possible? The lid was not loose in the bag just plain missing.Some of the wax has melted into the bag.I am not even sure how can I return this since it has to cross the border.

The wax may seem expensive, but it goes on so thinly that it's actually quite affordable. It's barely visible once applied in a single coat, protecting the wood and bringing out the best in it without changing its colour. Smells good too!

Love this stuff cannot recommend it enough.It you have anything you want to keep looking new use this.

Schönes wax, lässt sich gut verarbeiten, habe es für alte Münzen genutzt, leider war der Versand mit 12 Euro sehr teuer
