Paste Wax
Re: Paste Wax
I have just settled on using a silicone rag for now. That way, I can wipe the steel and wood down without any concerns. Plus, I noticed that both look great. There is even a deep rich shine.

Re: Paste Wax
We've probably all got a shelf full of "stuff" for cleaning, polishing, preserving, buffing, etc., but I've also got 3 or 4 cheap silicone cloths and you're 100% right, they seem to do a fantastic job. Seems like no matter what I do on any particular gun at any particular time, my "final pass" is always a silicone cloth, at which point it always looks just great.GFK wrote:I have just settled on using a silicone rag for now.

Maybe I should just start there and call it good?!?

Re: Paste Wax
Yes, I have bought a lot of stuff also. But as you pointed out, the $3-$5 silicone cloths seem to do the best job in the end.ESquared wrote:We've probably all got a shelf full of "stuff" for cleaning, polishing, preserving, buffing, etc., but I've also got 3 or 4 cheap silicone cloths and you're 100% right, they seem to do a fantastic job.

Re: Paste Wax
Ya, the Si cloth is a bit less work and time than wax and buff.

Re: Paste Wax

Not for brass. Renaissance Wax, already mentioned, is best for guns with shiny brass and wood as it can be used on both surfaces.
Get it from Amazon.

Re: Paste Wax
I picked up some of this 'orange oil' wax last time I stopped by Lee Valley. I have a couple of oiled stocks I want to try it on...
