I bought this to help keep the high dollar tools in my woodshop clean and waxed, but once I found out how versatile it was, I bought two more and have been using it for many applications. There is a reason this wax is the chosen product by museum curators.What I like most about this is that it cleans as well as protects - it takes off dirt and oils as you apply it, better than other paste waxes I have used in the past. My old favorite was Behlen paste wax, which is a great product, but Renaissance wax has supplanted Behlen as my go to product. This is easier to work with, cleans better taking off dirt and grime, and is easier to buff to a shine. Sometimes Behlen would set up to quickly and leave a haze / streaks, where Renaissance is much more forgiving on set up time.In the shop I use this on MANY things - plane bodies / irons, my Starrett rules and squares - pretty much any metal tool that I want to clean and protect. And the bonus again is it really cleans well in one step! Sometimes I apply / buff twice for dirtier tools, and it works well. I have also used this on my jointer and planer beds to make the surface slick, and even the table saw. I try and use cheaper paste waxes on my tool beds due to the cost of this wax, but it does work well if you want to foot the cost.I have also found this works great on restoring / protecting more than just my tools - just like in the museums, I have been using this on some of my antiques where I want to keep the patina, yet protect it. I am now using this with more confidence in those applications - this wax simply takes off the dirt and oils, yet leaves the patina without leaving a high sheen. Very nice.I highly recommend this wax to anyone for most any application - it is not cheap - but the results are top notch!Thanks for reading!
