Great product

Would Recommend

I use this to wax machinery for woodworking. It provides a very slick surface and makes it so the wood glides through the jointer, table saw, planer much easier. It does the same when applied to router bases also. It lasts longer than the spray on alternatives.

Paste Finishing Wax

Would Recommend

Great product for correcting finish damage caused by use of improper cleaners on the poly finish. Bought this to correct the marred finish caused by the cleaning company when a new person cleaned my desk with the wrong cleaner. Followed the directions and massaged this on to the top of the finished desk and it restored it to its original luster and sheen. I was very happy that I didn't have to sand and reapply the poly to fix the finish to my desk.

It’s basic, right from the can.

Would Recommend

This wax paste is light enough to clean with and full enough to provide a great finish. An organic compound filtering mask is a must.

Great for interior furniture for an antique patina

Would Recommend

Easy to apply. It won’t darken the wood very much, though. Once applied to the wood, it is only very slightly darker than the clear paste wax (I tried both). If you need to darken the wood, use stain first and try to get an exact match by layering or mixing stains. I used this on a replacement piece of trim on a 150 year old piece of cherry furniture. After testing the original finish with rubbing alcohol and lacquer thinner, I determined that the original finish was wax, so this was a good...

Good furniture wax, careful on white painted wood

Would Recommend

Worked well. Left yellow tint behind on white-painted wooden desktop, but I should have used less wax. Also could have used white tinted wax instead. Yellow tint came out with a lot more work with mineral spirits/goo gone, ended up working out well.

Favorite finishing wax for darker wood stains

Would Recommend

This is my favorite finishing wax for darker wood stains. Use it for antique furniture, protecting metal surfaces from rust, light lubricant for table saw tops, and for creating custom finishes for wood projects. The "Special Dark Paste" is perfect for the darker colored wood projects and antique machine polishing.
