Having a couple of swords of collector's quality, I wanted to assure that they didn't get pitted by rust or other surface damage. For years I used a light oil to protect them with relative success. Recently, I read about Renaissance wax and decided to try it for myself. It is truly a great product! It provides a protective coat that doesn't get sticky (like the oil did) and a shine that the oil never could give. If you have anything of value that you want to protect, this is something you should try. Hey, if the museums housing royal antiquities use this, it is good enough for me.

Great stuff! I use it on photos to prevent color changes and finger prints, and it stops objects from sticking to latex-painted furniture, oh joy--I used it on my painted mantle shelf and the objects sitting on it no longer stick! I can't wait to repaint all my bookcases and protect both the books and the paint by applying a coat of this stuff to the shelves. I does have a slightly unpleasant odor, but it fades after a few days exposed to the air. It is worth the price!

After having this recommended by everyone I talked to who used it, I ordered a can. First thing I tried it on was my jointer table. (cast iron)

I cleaned the table completely, rubbed it down with a Scotchbrite pad, cleaned that off with mineral spirits. The wax took even more dirt off as it was being rubbed in. I didn't expect that. The table never looked so good. No film left afterward to show fingerprints or smears. The wood pushed through afterwards acted like it was on a bed of Teflon. Amazing!

I next tried it on our Dining room table. So easy to use. Very little effort needed to buff it off. Way better than any paste wax I've ever used before. Amazingly, no fingerprints or smears whatsoever afterwards.

I don't know how long it will be before needing recoated yet, but so far I'm seriously impressed.

Also, athough the price is pretty high for the amount you get, the actual amount you need to use on any particular piece is almost insignificant. I figure this 200ml can will be able to be passed on to my kids. I can't tell looking into the can that I even used any of it, it is so efficient.

I put this wax on raw wood frames for drawings and prints. It protects the wood while slightly bringing out the grain. Rubbing the wax in and polishing it results in a subtle sheen that is very smooth to the touch.

I use this product on my collectible knives. It is quite pricey but you use so very little that it should last a long time. It preserves the integrity of the knife by sealing out moisture and minimizes fingerprints after touching the knife. I also sell knives and use it on them as well. Customers want to pick the knives up and check them out before they buy them. I got tired of wiping off fingerprints until this product came along and made my job alot easier. I also use it on my jewelry. No telltale residue....just a marvelous natural sheen.

I have a modest collection of swords, knives (including a few valuable antiquities), and 19th century firearms. I protect them all with Renaissance Wax and have done so for many years. Other products I've used in past protected my edged weapons against oxidization for many months, but this product extends the interval between polishings to years. I also use it on my old Colt revolvers, and I'm finding that more and more gun traders are moving to this product in place of oils and silicon sprays.

Even criminals are evidently becoming aware of this product's virtues. Some years ago, burglars stole a considerable part of my collection. They ignored liquor and prescription drugs, but they did take my jar of Renaissance Wax.

Product is every bit as good as advertised. Easy to use, works like a charm. I will order again.

It works perfect and it goes alot further than i thought it would. It is a great buy and works for pretty much everything.

I restore antiques.To do this I must use proper Finishes.On a barstow dresser shellac was original,and I mimicked a french rub with shellac.Although it is a beautiful result it has its flaws and breaks down with moisture rapidly.I used Renaissance wax as added protection and was 110.% satisfied with my results.I will always use Renaissance wax its worth every penny and more.Amazon is a great place to shop,with a great selection. Thankyou sincerely Paul

I have a collection of 9 modestly priced functional (not just display) swords made of high-carbon steel from 1045 to 1075 that are susceptible to rust and pitting. Each sword arrived sufficiently oiled, but I searched for an alternative to oil that would require less maintenance.
I found Renaissance Wax via online recommendations. Ok, it does cost $30 here but a little goes a long way.
I have waxed (preserved) 9 swords with 3 coats, 2 Condor machete's, a handmade oak sword stand, a handmade oak mantle clock, a stainless steel carafe, a stainless steel high quality seltzer bottle and many of my wooden (oak and walnut) display creations.

The sheen is not real shiny, but the result does bring out the highlights of the item being treated.
I use cotton balls to apply the wax and after buffing and I see no metal residue after further applications on the ball, I give just one more coat.
After all the preserving I have done to date, I still have 80% remaining in the container.
I hope this helps
