General FYI on Ren Wax -- Prior to to being mixed with a petroleum solvent to melt it, the wax is very hard small pellets. When the liquified wax paste is applied to an object, the solvent evaporates and leaves a tough film, that can be removed safely, again with a petroleum containing solvent.
The wax is actually not vegetable or animal based, but is a high-molecular weight 'poly'; very dense,hard plastic. Well rubbed in to crannies and crevices, as well as the surface, it serves as a water barrier. It is not invulnerable forever, but once applied it is easily renewed.
At season's end, or after a muddy grit-t-ty day,you may remove it with most mild gun-cleaning solvent, let dry, and re-apply. Not cheap, but well worth it's effect.
