Renaissance Wax

Loading...

Have any of you tried Renaissance Wax on any of your gear? I just read about it last week, picked up a jar and applied a few coats to an old, raw brass Ludwig Pioneer snare drum that I just cleaned up on a buffing wheel. After looking into re-plating the shell with nickel or chrome, adding an automotive clear coat, clear powder coat or lacquer, I decided to just keep it raw brass for now and test out Renaissance Wax.

It can be used on practically any surface and I'll bet, in addition to all metal parts, it would be great on drum wraps as well:

Any thoughts?

what is the different with Nevr Dull product ? I'd rather use simichrome polish that recommended by most of the people in this forum.

NevrDull has "strings" of abrasive embedded in the cotton that can scratch chrome.

I just started to use Renaissance Wax after cleaning/polishing parts with Simichrome as it "helps to produce a barrier that excludes moisture and oxygen from the metal surface, to ensure against further introduction of contaminating elements by handling, and to provide a protective layer over anti-corrosion undercoatings."

By the way, Renaissance Wax is used in the following places in the U.S. - The Smithsonian Institute, Colonial Williamsburg Conservatory, Abraham Lincoln Residence, Vicksburg Military Park and Museum, Henry Ford Museum, Academy of Arts, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NRA Museum, Rockefeller Restorations, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Hilton Hotels, BYU Museum of Art, National Ornamental Metals Museum, as well as other museums, government agencies, craftsmen, collectors both professional and amature alike.

In the United Kingdom it is used in the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Buckingham Palace, Military Museums at Aldershot, H.M. the Queens Royal Armourer, The National Museum of Antiquities - Scotland, Royal Armories (London & Leeds), The Imperial War Museum, Windsor Castle, and The Tower of London.

Never did. I'm always into trying new stuff, so I think I'll give it a whirl. You really don't know what works until you try it.
