Developed by the British Museum in the early 1950s for fine art conservation, Renaissance Wax Polish is a blend of highly refined micro-crystalline fossil-origin waxes. It can be used on virtually all solid surface materials - even paper. The #1 choice of museums, galleries and professionals worldwide!

1) Submitted by John, from Florence, SC on 2/5/2011 Customer Rating: I use Renaissance wax to protect my new ivory shaving brush. Easy to apply, smells like any other polish, but this stuff is incredible for protecting delicate items and can literally polish and protect anything you can think of. If museums use it for everything they have, imagine the number of things you can protect at home! A+++ Used on Pre-ban Elephant Ivory (click to see full-size picture in new window)

2) Submitted by Ethan Ewing, from Macon, MS on 7/16/2010 Customer Rating: I use this product on most of my tools. From hand planes to the table saw, and I have had awesome results! It is hard to believe that wax can protect and perform like this. If you have never tried it I recommend it.

3) Submitted by Dave, from Westville, SC on 10/7/2008 Customer Rating: Excellent product. I have not begin to use it for all the uses recomended. I have used on furniture, shoes and just about any thing that can be waxed with excellent results. I may even try it on the motorcycle this product is that good.

4) Submitted by Ken Lasota, from South Barrington, IL on 3/13/2008 Customer Rating: Used this on some bowls I made and buffed with the Beal system and the end finish is great. I put a coat on my varnished router table and fence and everything moves smoothly. Highly recommend it.

5) Submitted by Neal Aronson, from Santa Cruz, CA on 10/23/2008 Customer Rating: I like this product. I bought it after watching the Wood whisperer recommend it on his podcasts. When it arrived I kept searching the box to find the full sized jar, figuring that what I had found was a free sample. A thimble sized jar seems a bit expensive no matter how good it is. I'll be curious to do some side by side comparison tests to see how much better it performs than the other waxes.

6) Submitted by John Barrett, from Lexington, SC on 4/1/2008 Customer Rating: I used this product on rails, in which wheels run. It made the movement much smoother and easier. Excellent product, recommend highly.

7) Submitted by Joey Badabing, from Charlotte, NC on 1/16/2008 Customer Rating: I'm using this wax as the final finish on pens that I turn on the lathe. I buff it out with a buffing wheel and the finish is awesome! Simply rub it in, wait about 20 seconds for it to haze over, then buff it out. The shine is very good and the protection seems excellent. Pens get handled frequently and the finish is important. I use a friction polish and finish off with this wax so that the wood feel is apparent but the wood is protected well. When the finish dulls, it can be brought back with a simple buff from a cotton cloth.
