Renaissance Wax for Blued Steel Revolvers

[@WheelgunsOnWheels]

Great how to. I bought a can of this 3 years ago because of your recommendation and am very happy I did. The stuff works great on all of my revolvers from 1927 to 2023 shining bright like they just came out of the factory. Thanks man.

[@duster0066]

Regular paste wax works fine. I've been waxing my blued guns for over 15 years. Living in the Pacific NW means rain and lots of it. A days hunting in the rain would cover my old mod 94 Win with fine rust. Learned to wax, and problem solved. Start by removing the stocks so you can wax the hidden parts. Put it on liberally forcing it into nooks and crannies. After buffing with a cloth use a tooth brush to get the tight spots. And by gently tapping the bristles of the brush on the stamping letters and checkering you will get them buffed to. I wax at every cleaning. Don't forget the wood.

[@geico1975]

When you said "regular paste wax" does that mean you don't have to buy Renaissance Wax necessarily? For example, www.lowes.com/pd/Johnson-Johnson-16-oz-Floor-Polish/3384826 less than $7.00 for this Johnson's Paste Wax would be just as good and effective? Thanks

[@RockandrollNegro]

@@geico1975 Most commercial paste waxes contain a petroleum base which may or may not damage your finish. The cheapest safe option you'd find would be pure beeswax, which does an adequate short term job on wood, metal and leather. You can get beeswax pretty cheap locally through an apiary or through Etsy/eBay/Amazon.

This is the same revolver used in his Flitz review. Flitz is only recommended for use on Hot Blued firearms. The Renaissance Wax is a good product. Use it sparingly, a microfiber towel will make it shine. Always clean the firearm after use. It will help clean up faster using Flitz Polish and use the wax after.

~I've used this Wax for many years. A little goes a long way and I'm on my 3rd can. It's very good to prevent fingerprints. I always keep this Waxz on my shelf. ~It's what the Royal Museum of England uses on their important items, even on their old "paper" Documents to protect and preserve them. ~I apply three coats of Wax on my Blued Firearms and it's good for six plus Months. ~I've found that Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax is also very good. I use this on my long guns.

[@kimthurston9192]

They use it on wood and paintings too, it was developed for museums. Not sure why you put on 3 coats though, it was developed to avoid buildup so the new coat removes the old coat so doing it 3 times is just wasting it, may be why you are on your 3rd can.

[@OddNoble]

Nice choice of music 🎶👍

[@totljag1]

U can use that wax to protect the outside and inside of those wood grips also

[@stephenkuron6906]

This was exactly the video i was looking for.I have a true Russian Makarov that has a black finish which is a little hazy so im hoping Renascence will be just the product to help.Thanks again

[@timmcpherson6707]

I own several 15-3, 629’s, 10-2, 19-2,… blah blah blah 😁…..1968-68-70’s… really excited to use this product! Want to add extra protection besides keeping them looking like new! Thanks!

[@radiohobbyist13]

This stuff might be great in many ways but several reviewers complained about the very strong odor. I just use a silicone impregnated Rod & Reel cloth and I'm good to go.

[@timmcpherson6707]

Excellent video… thank you!

[@SS-hq2nf]

Hey David remember I told you about refinishing my coach gun timbers ? Thats exactly the wax that I used. I also did my brass and timbers on my uberti pistols with it 👍🏼 good stuff.

[@edprince9079]

It dries fast but buffs out great. Nice thing is it doesn't have the acids in it like other polishes.

[@kevinwilson9589]

I use Birchwood Casey gunstock wax. This stuff looks great too. That Model 28 looks close to a Model 27 afterwards.

[@TheYjmfan]

Beautiful colt trooper looks lovely after the wax. I used to own the highway patrolman, and a model 29 s&w unfortunately they were destroyed by the police when we had the handgun ban in the uk in 1997.

[@richdelgzz]

That brings tears to my eyes 😢

[@kimthurston9192]

Use this exclusively for all my guns including stainless, no more rubbing with oil or silicone cloth after cleaning, works wonderfully, I apply it with my finger though. Ought to see what it does to a blued colt python, it's purdy!

[@kickit59]

I don't know the reason but if your stainless gun is polished to a mirror polish the renaissance wax makes what I call micro scratches but other than mirror polished stainless this wax does amazing things! I started to put this wax on a mirror polished Mod 66 snub and that area started micro scratching and I had to re polish it to a mirror shine. On blued guns it is amazing! Also works amazing on making wood grips look like new. If you grips are in good condition they will really pop after a good wax job!

[@JNF590]

Is it safe for nickel plated gun's? I'm about to take home a RIA 1911 .45 ACP nickel finish I don't want any scratches and finger prints so I'm extensively researching so I know what to do when I get my gun.​@@kickit59

[@justinrowan4069]

Thanks for the information. I just bought some for use on my knives and firearms.

[@snafutarfu1440]

I have not heard of ANY troopers that don't shoot well.I use cast conical bullets sized to .355 yes you read it right .355 with 6.5 grains of unique and with a rest, gallon plastic jugs at 100 yards.

[@daspiper8941]

That milky-look you had on your 586 was likely just a haze on the surface of the Bluing and the Flitz Polish removed that surface. It sure looks much better on camera. I'm happy for you my Friend.

[@davidbliss3220]

That’s a sweet trooper. I have a 4 inch made in 1974.

[@MarkMphonoman]

Wow, was my response when you were done. Did a great job. 👍

[@russelder9743]

Dave--it looks plenty good to me on the Colt...........I am going to get it for my 586........thanks buddy

[@MPGunther1]

They look great, I'll give it a thumbs-up too

[@The1jonnyz]

A tiny dab of Renaissance will polish my entire 27-2. The stuff is awesome. I put it on my stocks as well, not so much to polish them but to protect them

[@chriscoston8601]

Yeah, my first time out with this wax last week was a mess. It dried super fast and acted like tack. I am kinda liking Greg Lyle's suggestion.

[@kimthurston9192]

New coat will remove old coat so it doesnt build up, just wax it again, in small areas at a time if need be, then buff it.

[@MrNedsaabdickerson]

Nice Colt Trooper, I need one.

[@ama409573]

Tried it works as advertised, love it👍

[@josephliptak]

Vintage Colt blue finish is the best looking on planet earth.

[@patrickkinney4998]

I’m cheap. I use turtle wax on my revolvers, shotguns and even my SKS. It does stop rust in the salty Florida rain.

[@NorthwoodsShooter]

One of the best products you can buy!

[@thomaswalsh5097]

Dave, I hope you have that trooper shooting well. Stay well.

[@greyspot00]

I have a thing with oil... can't stand it on my hands, like nails on a chalk board. I oil my guns minimally (internals only). I've been using this stuff for years and it is amazing, no oil on my clothes or hands, no rust, adds luster and polish, and it lasts a long time between applications!

[@dkruitz]

Same here. It sticks to polished metals better than oils do.

[@totljag1]

Do not use flitz on that new 586 that’s cold bluing and will remove the finish , Flitz is only for the older hot bluing

[@HPDrifter2]

This is good stuff. So is clear shoe polish.

[@kennethrisner8648]

just to be clear and so i understand, this is a non abrasive product that actually protects existing bluing on a firearm? i can't afford nice weapons like the ones in the vid but i did just get a new marlin model 60 22 and would like to keep it looking good and am thinking of trying this

[@drdrake63]

kenneth risner This is safe to use on blue and firearms

[@NYR11949]

Kenneth - I've been using this on all my firearms of different shapes, sizes, and finishes for years. You will not be disappointed.

[@JamesMichael333]

Good video. I’ll never buy a S&W as long as they have that stupid ridiculous integral lock. I’ll probably go with Ruger.

[@EroticOnion23]

Can you wax the inside of the barrel to prevent rust?? 0.o

[@JimC121]

Looks great 👍

[@pmwheatley]

Is there any problem with burning or discoloration on the front of the cylinder or at the muzzle?

[@stevewhite5082]

I used to have the same model of pistols.

[@tetospewpews9644]

Can it work on a mat black Taurus 856

[@mauricenunez73]

Amazon would not ship this to California. Had to order it from MidwayUSA.

[@bluescatreimer]

Great wax, I use it on my guns. Little pricey but does a great job

[@arlenegonzalez6196]

Does this work on browning hi power and 1911 colts

[@daviddalton8996]

My concern is at what temperature does the wax begin to melt?

[@marstondavis]

Do you have a gun stock that looks great? Use this wax on it and it'll look even better. This is a very high-quality product.

[@origamicrane685]

Does the dried wax feel wet like oil or sticky at all?

[@johnsonwilliam1023]

What did you use to clean the gun before waxing

[@jimv.661]

Late to the video. For those that don't know, some of the finest museums in Europe use this to preserve artifacts including Ancient coins.

[@sergionatali3071]

Perhaps wearing cotton gloves while waxing would help too.

[@oldschoolcop8568]

My model 36 chief could use some of this and it is in mint condition.

[@traumajock]

I'm going to try this with my Ruger Security Six.

[@kimthurston9192]

Made mine look beautiful, but it is 95% condition so it was beautiful anyway.

[@heavydutyreviews1303]

Hey David I uploaded some pics of my Smith & Wesson model 19-2 and S&W Model 1000 Super 12 after I took your advice and used the renaissance wax. Check out the luster over on my channel. Thank you!

[@kimthurston9192]

Be sure to strip the oil, silicone, whatever before waxing it, works much better, plus this wax resists fingerprints.

[@TheFreeman4955]

What’s the best stripper to use not to harm older S&W bluing?

[@kimthurston9192]

​@@TheFreeman4955 ​ hoppes #9 It will take off residual oil on the surface, wipe off the #9 real good, then use the wax, light coat then buff after a few minutes. Is great on blued and stainless guns. Also fine on parkerized like an ar-15

[@TheFreeman4955]

@@kimthurston9192 Thanks. I was thinking #9 was kind of oily and would not allow it to adhere to the metal.

[@kimthurston9192]

@@TheFreeman4955 Yeah, just wipe it off good

[@jclaxton78]

I just bought a new shotgun w/blued finish and this Ren. Wax. I want to put it all over the steel parts but the gun came oily. What household product can I use to get the oil off before putting the wax on it? Does it have to be completely stripped of oil (on exterior) or just excess oil wiped off? This is all new to me.

[@MrNedsaabdickerson]

So those it work better than flitz?

[@kimthurston9192]

2 different uses, this and flitz aren't comperable

[@MrNedsaabdickerson]

How is that compared to flitz?

[@drdrake63]

MrNedsaabdickerson it’s better for blued FLITZ better for stainless

[@kimthurston9192]

This is a wax, it doesn't remove anything, flitz is more of a rubbing compound and will remove that microscopic top layer

[@icu1585]

Expensive wax

[@johnnypopulus5521]

I'm supposing this will remove my parkerized finish?

[@kimthurston9192]

Huh? This won't remove anything except the previous coat of wax. You can use it on parkarized finish, but you have to buff it more to get at that wax in the little microscopic pits of the parkerized finish.
