Welcome! / Forums / General Woodworking Discussions / Finishing / Another new discovery
Is it new I don’t know but it’s something I’ve discovered on my own. I applied some car polish professional wax system from repco to one half of a piece coated with shellac, it had three coats of shellac over a three day period. Then on the other half I applied the minwax paste wax. The results were identical, you couldn’t tell them apart so I’m wondering is minwax paste wax nothing than car polish. I did also tried using the same waxes on oiled only timber and they both failed to brighten it up so this only works on poly and shellac.
Most car wax is just a carnuba based wax. It will work, but you will want to be careful as they sometimes add stuff, and I can’t promise it won’t mess with the finish.
