This is part of what I found while researching what I wanted to use on my guns. It's more highly refined with a much higher melting point (as in, firearms - hot from firing) when I made my choice:
"Renaissance Wax was developed in the British Museum research laboratories in the early 1950s. It is now manufactured by Picreator Enterprises Ltd. Earlier wax polishes based on beeswax and carnauba wax (Johnsons & KIWI) either contained acids or became acidic over time. Renaissance Wax is based on more stable microcrystalline waxes refined from crude oil."
But, I'll add the following: I ain't never been no wax scientist.
