With all the good wood waxes available I can't for the life of me figure why anyone would put automotive wax on a firearm.

Since I started this thread about Renaissance Wax I bought a tin of it. A small project was some new made clip boards ($1.50) that I wanted to "age" for use to display my collection of old trap & skeet score sheets. I burned off the plating, sanded/stained the hard board then waxed the metal and hard board all with RW wax-- the project came out very cool, with the smooth feel of age and use!

Virtually all commonly available auto waxes contain silicone, which can/will cause problems if you ever decide to refinish the wood. Meguiar's, as an example, has a section on their website that lists their "body shop safe" products, and none of them are waxes. Lots of polishes and glazes, but no waxes. Your safest bet in automotive waxes would be pure carnuba.


I'm a lapsed kapnismologist, (pipe smoker), I used to spend time restoring old, valuable pipes. The final step in restoration is charging a buffing wheel with a block of carnuba and buffing the pipe. That is one tough finish, not sticky at all. Would take a while to do a gunstock though.

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
