I have used carnuba wax for maybe 15 years on guns taken hunting and used in matches. It does wear off after a few trips, but, I just keep replacing it. Find it better than RemOil for protecting gun metal surfaces while hunting or match shooting. Niklas

My experience with it has been more in the line of appearance and not so much protection, in other words the things I used it on looked good after applying the wax but were not subject to rust or harsh conditions, and if it failed you really would not be able to tell other than loss of sheen. Thanks

How about a warm luster, instead of an old Ford's front bumper look! Last edited by Lowell Glenthorne; 03/15/08 09:47 PM.

I have guns rained on while hunting here in Arizona and have never had a problem with rust when the guns have been protected with their wax. The other advantage is it cost's about 1/4 of the cost of Renwax. Jim The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.

I got caught in a heavy down pour one day in no time it showed no sign of beading the water off the metal or wood. I'll stick with oil on my metal and a good paste wax on my wood.
