There was an article in The Garand Collectors Journal about antique arms in NOLa that got flooded during Katrina. Those that had been waxed with RW were by far better off than the others. They noted that some had been waxed hot. Those survived the best. Before I found the RW, I used some old Blue Coral on both wood and metal. I don't think the RW will get rubbed off with handling as fast as other waxes.
