Paul Chen Renaissance Wax

I have a high carbon steel, historical weapon collection that would require to be polished every 3 to 4 weeks. A collection that would take all day. This is a game changer, from 3-4 weeks to every 12 months. The protection it gives os amazing, it's extremely easy to apply so as for the cost.......... Worth absolutely every penny!

I'm so impressed with the results this gives. I originally bought it to clean and care for some rather dirty and dull looking antique spelter figurines. It took me several days of applications but they now look stunning and gleam like new. Seems expensive but a little goes such a long way so it will last ages.

Great prompt service, brilliant

I use it to finish stone carvings.

It’s a bit expensive to start off with but well worth the initial outlay. I bought a larger tub after receiving a free sample mini pot when I bought a knife. Much better than spray oils and greases. It goes where you want it, not over everything in the immediate vicinity. protects polished blades without smearing can be used on leather too. Highly recommended.

Good

What a great product for bringing your antiques to life. Easy to use and the results are good.

La vraie et faite pour ce quoi elle est destinée

So I have ordered this after reading a big deal on sword collector sites. It is the panacea for all the needs of collectors, and so far the fame seems to be deserved. I have 2 occidental swords, limited edition from Lord of the Rings movies (Museum edition series); and I was concerned about how to keep these beauties in a clean and nice way. Tried with silicone oil, mineral oil and while they solve the purpose, leave the blade and hilt greasy and attract a lot of particles, making them quite bad to look at, and in continuous need to be cleaned (get a spoon, put it in honey, lick all honey off and then roll the spoon on the carpet...this is how the swords would look like...I don't have a museum with weatherproof sealed boxes, so dust get on them no matter what :D ) Used this once, and so far great results! It cleaned the old stain on the metal, and the dried residual of oil; and made the metal a bit more shiny (not sure if it removed the aging coat that the sword maker put on the sword; or if it just cleaned it); but it won't look like chrome, so be assured that the sword will stay nice and clean but not shiny and "bling". It works great on the blade, hilt and grip (which is made of leather); I've coated the scabbard too (made of wood, metal and leather), and it looks awesomely clean. The big advantages are that you don't need to coat every few months the blade, since this wax stays on for quite a long time (heard that you need to give another coat once every 6-8 months, based on how much you handle the sword), it doesn't leave grease all over and if you touch the blade with your fingers (don't do it), you can easily wipe away the blade and you are fine; while with the oil you would have to give a new coat (if the grease on the hands goes under the oil coat, with air, it will cause rust to appear on the carbon blade, that's why you never touch with your bare hands a carbon steel blade, unless you clean it thoroughly after). I am happy with it; there is plenty for 10 years of coating :) Tried it on other old items, like silver items which had a dark coat on it, and it didn't work as well as the sword; I guess that Silver has to be cleaned with other products before you can use this wax. Works good on leather and wood chairs, altho it will be expensive to coat 4 chair every 6 months...you may have better luck with common cheaper products, unless you have a louis 15th type furniture :)

Worth it.. go ahead

If you are looking for Renaissance Wax, then it's pretty likely you know what it is and what you need it for. In my case, it was the final step in the construction of a flintlock. Easy to apply, generous amount for the price and seems to be as protective as the reputation suggests.

Teuer aber gut, benutze es für Blankwaffen!
