Versatile Application
Customers are highly impressed with the versatile application of Renaissance Wax, praising its ability to be used on various surfaces including wood, metals, plastics, and even antiques. Some have noted the cost but emphasized the product's effectiveness and quick and easy use.
Uniform Surface Finish
Customers are highly satisfied with Renaissance Wax Polish for achieving a uniform surface finish on various materials including wood, metals, and marble. The product is praised for its ability to protect surfaces from oxidation and corrosion while enhancing their natural appearance without leaving an applied or plastic-like finish. Some users have reported that the effectiveness of the wax depends on the condition of the surface, but overall it leaves a subtle shine and improves the look and hydration of older woods.
Rust Prevention
Customers highly praise Renaissance Wax for its effectiveness in preventing rust and preserving metal and wood finishes. Some mention a slight smell similar to shoe polish while the can is open, but it's not noticeable after application. The product has been trusted by conservators for protecting valuable items and is preferred over traditional oiling methods for maintaining a mirror finish without blotching or dulling effects.

Quality
So far i have used it on various metals that are prone to oxidation, leather, and wood with no issues and good protection.
Good quality, and great for use on a variety of surfaces.

Price
An extraordinarily fine product at a fair price.
I put off buying this wax because it is really expensive, but i finally bit the bullet and ponied up the money for it.
It's a bit expensive but well worth the price.
Price appears a bit high, but i can justify the price for the performance of the product.
Packaging/appearance
The amazon packaging was fine, only the renaissance wax can was dented in at least three different spots.
It's easy to put on but i wasn't real impressed with how it looked.
Competitiveness
I purchased ren wax after speaking with high end gun dealers (20k plus) and they recommended it.
Sometimes behlen would set up to quickly and leave a haze / streaks, where renaissance is much more forgiving on set up time.
My old favorite was behlen paste wax, which is a great product, but renaissance wax has supplanted behlen as my go to product.

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

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
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
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 wont look like chrome so be assured that the sword will stay nice and clean but not shiny and 34bling34

The big advantages are that you dont 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 68 months based on how much you handle the sword it doesnt leave grease all over and if you touch the blade with your fingers dont 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 thats why you never touch with your bare hands a carbon steel blade unless you clean it thoroughly after
