I just got my Ren wax yesterday. And brought out my 27-2. And went at it.
Wow! Just wow! It's no wonder so many members recommend this product. I'm a believer now! Thank you!
Pictured show no justice, as how beautiful it came out.
All I did was apply the wax all over. Let it sit. Grabbed a microfiber and polished. I really didnt have to wipe it down first. Seeing as that everytime I have to take it out of the safe, I wipe it down to put it back in. Fingerprints.
As many of you know, I looked for years to find a really nice (birth year) 1939 S&W. When I finally got it, the first thing I did was wipe it down and then apply Ren Wax and polish it with a soft cloth.
The results were like night and day!

I've used Ren wax on all my revolvers, but not my leather.
I'm going to try it on the holsters, now.
And, yes, Ren Wax does amazing things to a high gloss blue finish.

I have a lot of different products lying around for use on wood and leather. Ren wax is not always the best for leather - generally I prefer Mother's or Lexol if 'feel' is important (soft leathers), and Ren wax for harder leathers like holsters. I think a bottle of either of those, along with a jar of Ren wax, and you're covered for almost any leather situation.

WOW!! Beautiful 27-2!!Thanks for sharing that video with us.
Definitely gorgeous guns you people got. After reading and seeing the post about Ren. Wax I decided to try on my 36 no dash and my colt detective special. I started with Pre-Lim, because the colt had been stored in a plastic pistol case in the foam, which caused a bit off pitting and a tad of surface rust; both are extremely minor. So I buffed both with the Pre-lim, I was amazed at how much of the surface rust dissapeared and the pitting was minimize, then waxed. Pretty happy with the outcome, but definitely not quite as glossy . Here are the pictures and my question has anyone else used Pre-Lim; I believe I read about on the NRA how they care for their collections. Definitely shows off the imperfections. I also read about Flitzs does any one know how to compare to Pre-Lim? I have 29 no dash, 547, 19 all in near mint and only have been shot by me; I definitely dont want to hurt the finish on they guns.
They cleaned up real nice.
I've never heard of Pre-Lim so I can't say.
The newest gun I own is 20 years old and Flitz has done an awesome job on all of my guns without a single trace of removing any of the blue.
I am not aggressive with the polish at all. Very lightly applied and lightly rubbed with just my finger.

I've used Flitz exclusively on the majority of the collection but I do wax the show pieces. Flitz will not remove genuine blue, but it will remove paste blue and touch ups. If the rag turns brown, it's removing microscopic rust boogers. If the rag turns up black, it's taking the paste blue and touch ups.
I have my own "Flitz Test" when buying a high condition S&W New Model 3 as those last few percentage points of condition are more extremely more costly when getting on up into the 90% and higher condition guns.
It has to past the "Flitz Test" that I can see exactly how much of the ORIGINAL finish remains after the touch ups are gone.
