Has anyone used Renaissance Wax on their blued handguns and was the result good ??? ( Some before and after photos would be nice ) Thanks

It really does work good. For me the best result was with proper cleaning first, then a VERY light treatment with a microfiber cloth using Flitz - gently. Then 2 - 3 coats of the Ren Wax.

Here is one before...



After...

WOW, Nice, I will be ordering some today, thanks

Ren Wax is great stuff. I use it on all my Smith's. Use it also on your wood stocks.

I have been using Renaissance Wax since 2001 with great results on both blue and nickel revolvers. I highly recommend it.

Snake, at least for me, the best way to apply it is with the tip of your index finger. The heat from your finger melts it just enough and makes it easy to rub it on, let dry and wipe off with soft cotton cloth. If you use a cloth to apply you're just wasting wax. A 65ml can will last forever it seems.

Great, thanks for the tip, I have some on the way

Got to add a vote of confidence for Ren Wax. Easy to use with great results. Not much more to add. I do not have a before and after pic, just the after pic.

Renaissance wax is an excellent product and well worth it's price. It does a great job on Blued and Nickle revolvers.

Ren wax works on just about everything you can think of... I use it on the inside (and out) of leather holsters to act as a barrier coat against any residual acids in the leather from the taning and block moisture.

I've also found that it is effective in eliminating the green bloom (verdigris) that forms around metal snaps and rivet heads.

i always think of ren.wax like this...we don't use an oily rag on the finish of our car to protect it....we use wax....and renaissance wax is the best...guns,wood,leather,photographs,documents etc.

I've never used Ren wax, but I have used some stock wax that I bought at a gun show 20 years ago. It's just a nonabrasive Carnauba wax, which I assume Ren wax is, also. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Wax is so much nicer for a blued gun than any oil. It doesn't make your hands oily, or smell like oil.
It protects against rust much better than oil. My sweat can cause a freshly oiled, blued gun to rust while I'm wearing it IWB.
Wax cured that problem. Water and sweat bead up and roll off, just like on a car.

Where can I buy Renaissance Wax? Hardware stores, next to the Butcher's Wax?

It's kinda spendy but if it works the price is no option IMO, here is the link where I ordered mine

Amazon.com: Renaissance Wax Polish: Home & Kitchen

Ren wax is used a lot in woodworking for putting a finish on woods that have a high oil content that makes varnishes incompatible. Wood working supply houses, like woodcraft.com puts it on sale from time to time.

Conservationresources.com sells the large 200ML size for $20.00, what some places sell the smaller 65ML size for.

Ren wax works great. I'm not sure about Virgina but up here in the north ren wax gives me an excuse to get a couple revolvers out in the evening and work with them. At the end of winter some have several coats of wax. I consider ren wax cheap entertainment.

Ha! Around my house on the weekends the guns come out for a good waxing. Never mind the fact that they already have several coats!
