Renaissance Wax Polish, 65 ml
Gently dissolves dirt and residues of old polishes from antiques. The product seals the treated surfaces and provides excellent protection against external influences.
Can be used on almost all solid surfaces such as wood, metal, marble, onyx, lime, stone, ivory, leather, paper or plastic.
The Renaissance wax polish is designed for long-term protection of all classes of museum exhibits. The wax has a crystalline structure much finer than totally natural waxes, a property that confers a highly efficient moisture resistance. When thinly applied and rubbed out to full lustre, the wax film is (and remains) glass-clear, with no discoloration either of the wax or the underlying surface.
Renaissance wax is free from acids (pH neutral) and will not damage even sensitive materials. For example, photographs for exhibition or of historic value are waxed to protect the image from the natural acidity of hand or environmental pollutants. The wax does not stain or darken even white paper.
On furniture or wood carvings the wax delicately enhances grain or ‘flame’ patterns. It protects existing finishes such as french polish and can also be applied directly to sanded, unfinished hardwoods without need of sealers.
No matter how often the wax is used there is no loss of clarity, so that fine surface detail is never obscured. Repeated use of the wax deepens the lustre, reflecting more light from surfaces and making them more lively. Number of coats of wax needed to protect the item will vary depending on the type of surface, how frequently it is touched and location. These factors will also determine the frequency of further maintenance required.
Please note: A test must be carried out on a small, discreet area to ensure that the wax is suitable for use on that object.
