Is Renaissance Wax acceptable for the care of knives, daggers and weapon collections?

Definitely yes, it is one of the best metal polishing and rust protection products for knife collectors and museum gun collections around the world. It provides a protective barrier to help keep your knife blades in the best condition and protect them from rust and corrosion. The wax also helps maintain blade sharpness by preventing oxidation of the metal, so you don’t need to sharpen it as often. Additionally, the wax creates an anti-galling effect which reduces friction between two surfaces that can cause pitting or wearing away of metal on contact points. This makes it perfect for protecting against moisture while keeping your knife looking polished and beautiful for longer.

What does Renaissance wax do?

Renaissance Wax can be used to protect almost any surface from paper to stone, including wood, marble, granite, stone, leather, ceramics, ivory, metals (steel, iron, Damascus, brass, copper and silver to create an anti-tarnish barrier) etc. 

Does Renaissance Wax prevent rust?

Yes, Renaissance wax can be applied to a range of materials, including metal, steel, and Damascus steel for rust protection. The metal surface must be preliminarily cleaned from corrosion and contamination and well dried. After that, a layer of Renaissance Wax is applied and polished with a napkin. In our experience, Renaissance Wax is one of the best rust protection products.

How to use Renaissance Wax on metal?

  1. Dip your brush (or cotton pad) into a container of Renaissance Wax. Apply some wax to the metal surface to be treated.
  2. Wait a few minutes to allow the renaissance wax time to dry. 
  3. Buff the surface with a cotton cloth. Repeat the process until the metal surface looks nice. After drying, the surface will be pleasant to the touch and will not stick to the fingers.

Can Renaissance Wax be used to protect things in the open air?

Yes. Renaissance Wax is widely used around the world to protect outdoor items such as bronze sculptures, wooden furniture, brass plaques on monuments, and automobiles.

Does Renaissance Wax contain silicone? 

No, Renaissance wax does not contain silicone. Silicone is not approved in the field of professional restoration and conservation due to the damage that can be done when attempting to remove it. Professional restorers should be able to safely remove any surface treatment on antiques in case a better solution comes up in the future. Our wax is used by museums and restorers of all stripes around the world.
