Wax on, Wax off

[wundudnee]

My wife got me a small can of Renaissance wax for Christmas. I used it on several of my revolvers and thought, why not try it on these carbines? I have always used Johnsons Paste wax, but I am now a Ren wax convert. It works so easy and the results are amazing.

I agree. In my opinion, the absence or lesser presence of odor is superior.

It's a pretty good product . I bought a can of it several years ago and still have quite a bit left ...a little goes a long way .And yes it does bring out the grain and color in a wood stock as well as provide a layer of protection. Although I haven't done so myself I've read of people using it on the metal both stainless and blued .

I used it to coat an 1854 Austrian Lorenz rifle and it looks great. To add....!!!!!.....the accompanying original leather sling was practically powder. I decided to take a chance and carefully rub in the Renaissance on both sides of the sling. I was able to reinstall the sling on the rifle and it's still looks great. I would never use the sling to hold any weight of course, but for display it is remarkable.

I used it on a couple holsters and it evened them out and shined them up well. I also used it on some of my blue S&W boxes, big improvement. I should have taken some revolver pictures, but they just look like new guns.

Ren Wax is amazing...especially on blue steel. It makes a 90% gun look 98%.

I also find that Ren Wax makes cleaning a revolver faster and easier. Apply the Ren wax, go shooting, and dirt, powder, etc. come off more easily.

I was told Ren Wax is what they use at the NRA Museum. If it's good enough for their collection, it's good enough for mine!

And don't forget nickel too! Protects and looks beautiful!

The can I have has a strong solvent smell. The MSDS shows it has a mineral spirit solvent just like Johnson's. The difference is what is left behind after the solvent evaporates. I used to use Johnson's for rust prevention on firearms. I have been using Ren Wax for about a year now and find it to be a superior product.

Yes indeed...

Each of the guns below has been waxed with Ren Wax...

Anyone know if it's possible to use it on case colors on case harden frames I have used it for years but not on case colors..............................................M*

I can't see how it would hurt case coloring in any way.

Yes, RenWax works quite well on metal surfaces including nickel.

I can assure you Ren Wax works very well indeed on case colors...

I won't be using that ****. It turned ruined the finish and turned it all sorts of colors!

Pictures? I have never seen it harm any finish I have applied it to. I doubt the NRA National Firearm Museum would use it if it damaged firearm finishes.

He was making a joke since your frame is so multi-colored. Prety funny actually!
