Late to the party--Ren Wax

[Jerryatric3]

My gunsmith was telling me that a lot of collectors use Ren Wax on their guns. Did a little poking around and found nothing but rave. Amazon and two days later it's wax on/wax off grasshopper. On my blued revolvers it's WOW...JUST POPS!!! Easy on, easy buff and fantastic results. Frontier Scout display getting the treatment too.... Did some stainless and they look nice but not the dramatic difference it makes on blue. I'm sold......any negatives I'm missing????

I've used it for several years with similar results. The negatives are it is somewhat expensive but you don't need to use large amounts, and you'll want to use it on every gun you have, so buy a larger can.

I've used Maguire's paste wax with the same results for a fraction of the cost!

Agree it's great stuff and it goes a long way.

Welcome to the party. Ren wax is great for such things.

I am also a recent convert to Ballistol. Wish I had discovered that stuff decades ago.

I especially like your display board of the old rifles and handguns. Did you try the RenWax on the long gun stocks?

A small investment of $30.00 for a lifetime of protection.

When I finish of my little tub, I'm going to buy the big one. We have some antique wood picture frames than need some TLC. It should liquefy the atmospheric goo that can build up.

Great protectant on vintage leather too.

Yes, Renwax is a good product. I have some but rarely use it on guns - I use it mostly on other items. You asked about negatives when it relates to guns so here is my opinion.

I own a bunch of guns and shoot them all! I do not have any safe queens and those would be what I'd use Renwax on. When applying the product, all oil and grease should be removed first. Then the Renwax would be applied. After shooting the gun it would have to be cleaned, lubricated & thoroughly dried and have the Renwax applied once again. I am not into doing that every time I shoot a gun and to me that is the negative as it relates to Renwax and guns.

So if I did have a Safe Queen - yes, I'd use it on that and it is a great product. Just not willing to do that every time I shoot a gun.

Great stuff. Glad I found out about it here on the forum. I don't find the cost VS performance objectionable.
