PLINKER: I have used Johnson's Paste Wax for over 40 years and it does everything I need a wax to do. Plus, it's available nearly everywhere. I cover all areas I want to wax and immediately rub it with the palm/heel of my hand til it starts to drag. I then let it stand til it is "dry" and polish the gun with a soft cloth. This makes it appear the finish is in the wood rather than on it. :wink: :v
