Some of my old time Coleman (lanterns/etc) buds recommended this wax for a restoration shine. It seems good enough for the Crown Jewels so... Should I continue oiling the metal and wax the wood on my safe Queens? It says good for all metal, leather and such, what do you do?

* Not to be confused with Brazilian Wax

I had used CCL stock oil, but after 20 years the oil my little bottle was getting where it was taking a very long time to dry. I read about renaissance wax over the years, almost all positive. So I ordered a tin of it. I do like it, very quick and easy to apply. Makes a nice glow on the stock. I haven't used it on metal yet. Just can't stop wiping down metal with an oily rag.

I have applied it to the exterior of the barrels on my vintage doubles for the last few years with no noted deleterious effects.

I use it as Ol'Forester has suggested and it works very well. I use Clenzoil on the metal and Renaissance wax on the wood.

I use Renaissance wax on wood and metal. When I "French Gray" engraving scenes, removing bluing with Naval Jelly, I then coat with a couple of coats of the wax that has lamp black added to bring out the engraving followed by a couple of coats of clear wax. Has worked great for me.

Hi, I use RW on the stocks of my guns, I don't wax any metal parts however. It's a great product, gives a wonderful shine/glow to the wood. Not a long lasting wax if the gun is used much.

One thing about RW, don't let it dry too long, it can be a b**** to get off if it hardens.

Overall, a great product!

Good Luck!

jOe is right. If I'm going to be out in some crappy weather or want something longer lasting, I like to use:

https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/prod...14j-11-oz-paste

It does protect better than RW. Won't harm wood finishes BTW.

But for show and light use RW is hard to beat.

Best,

Greg

During my 12 years living on Kodiak Island, before each hunting season I pulled my rifle apart and coated wood and metal with Johnsons Floor Wax (paste). Never a bit of rust no matter how wet the weather (most of the time) or salty the air (all the time).

Yes Mike, it is I!
