MY TAKE ON THE EVER SO POPULAR REN-WAX

I have used this wax for 25 years on the ivory and fossil ivory jewelry I carve. Also put a coating of protection on my claw and teeth jewelry. Never put it on a gun and probably never will.

About surface prep:
Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I just thoroughly wipe the gun down with a clean rag then apply RenWax, let it dry and buff to a shine. The guns come out looking great. Maybe the wax combines with what little oil is left on the finish?

Just so happens I was wondering about preservation of the grips on my Models 19, 29, and 629 wheel guns. Is this what I need or is there another option for just the grips? I oil the weapons every time I use them. Works for me.

Works well,just don't shoot waxed magnas while wearing fleece gloves lol

Ren Wax works for me - I think it brings out the beauty of older guns quite well, particularly for photography.

Other than making things pretty I find Ren wax particularly useful on stainless steel wheel guns. Once applied, cleaning the carbon and residue around the cylinder is much easier.

Also use it to seal all my wood stocks except for oil finished stocks, especially the unfinished areas. I avoid silicone because it is problematic for future refinishing. Once silicone gets into the wood grain you can pretty much forget any finish sticking.

I have some and it's okay, over priced and not necessarily better than good ol floor wax, but definitely don't use it on old, antique leather like it says on the can! Ask me how I know. lol
