micro-crystalline wax

[Narragansett]

OK, the world seems to be using Renaissance wax from the UK. Any comment on E J Wheaton micro-crystalline wax? I read a lot of reviews of people using it on metal and firearms, and other things. It is much more economical that Renaissaince, and is USA made

That's a new one to me. I've never seen it mentioned here or on a couple of Randall knife forums I participate in.
The comments should be interesting.

I used Reaissance Wax on expensive blades, but I've used car wax on guns I carry before. I actually had S&W recommend car wax to me about 20 years ago.

Seems to be about the same description as Renwax.

I use Ren wax on guns that I store for a long time. A small amount goes a long way and I dont have to worry about rust creeping in on my old rifles.

I wouldn't any wax on my guns that isn't " by appointment" with the queen.

A Tory! And on the 4th of July weekend!
I just use Johnson's Paste Wax. I had a big can and found another new old stock can at a fleatique shop for a buck. I think I'm set for the balance of my life.

Renaissance Wax is one of the best products I have ever found. I use it a lot and one can could last me a lifetime.

Never waxed a firearm in my 56 years shooting , never waxed a knife blade ether and never had to deal with metal condition issues .

Never heard of those that I know with some fine firearm collectable using it ether .;

An life for the normal folks goes on !!

I bought Ren wax but I will give the other one a try. I like that it's made in the good old U.S.of A!!!!!! That Ren wax is a little salty. Thanks for your post.

While I might put Renwax (or similar) on Safe Queens or a show case gun, I see little purpose waxing a working gun that gets shot often. Between the blast of the primers & powder and the solvents you use to clean the guns, the Renwax would need to be re-applied every time - I'm personally not interested in doing that. Any gun that gets shot often I clean and wipe down with a lightly oiled patch before storing.

It's not massively cheaper if you are getting the 200 gram size, which is 6+ ounces.

For what I would end up using it on, I'd get the big one of either FWIW.

I started to use RenWax back when I was studying to become a commercial photographer. Put a nice fingerprint resistant sheen to mounted photographic prints. We used to joke our instructor ate KFC drumsticks dipped in gravy while grading our work.
