Favorite finishing wax for darker wood stains
Would RecommendThis 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.

A Little Too Firm for my taste
Was expecting something thinner that I could stir and then rub on with a rag. This stuff was thick and stout, more like candle wax. had to break it up and rub chunks onto my wood.

its supposed to help protect and lubricate my table saw. Seems to leave a smooth coating.

Leaves a nice shine
Would RecommendI am a woodturner and I use the "natural" version when ever I finish one of my projects. I'm typically turning elm, ash, walnut, oak, butternut and hackberry and the natural wax works great on all of them. I apply several light coats and then buff them out at a high speed. The more applications the better the piece looks. Thank you Minwax!

As expected. Great stuff.
Would RecommendAs expected. Needed an all purpose wood project wax. Used this on table saw sled jig and on jointer table to help both surfaces slide better. I wanted one with a tinted color so that I’ll know if the wax needs to be reapplied to raw wood uses.
Good finish wax
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Minwax Paste Finishing Wax protects and adds hand-rubbed luster to any finished wood surface. It is recommended for furniture, antiques, woodwork, cabinets, doors, paneling and accessories that do not need a hard protective coat of polyurethane. Works really well.

My table looks better!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this Miniwax paste finishing wax on the top of an old coffee table that I have that is pretty beat up and it did certainly improve the appearance of the table. Directions to recommend using a buffer polisher and I really think it would’ve been better if I had one of those but I just used a clean cloth. Definitely improved The looks and I think if I keep it up it will really look much better after a few more applications.

Great finishing wax
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this on an old piece of furniture I was trying to bring back to like. For my first furniture diy this came in handy. This was easy to apply. It provided a nice natural looking finish. I’d try to use this again.

Great Product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this in many of our projects. Set of wooden coasters came out beautiful. Just like waxing a car. You can even apply additional cats with ease. I have tried others with regrets. Even used this on my custom workbench top. Applied over top a coat of linseed oil for a great finish.

Eek
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know what I was expecting in this product, but this wasn’t it. Maybe I need to establish expectation management but I thought this was a way different product. I just don’t have a use for this. I thought it was going to add more color to my wood than it did and overall I’m just disappointed with this product.
