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.
