Renaissance Wax Polish (200ml) + Free Microfibre Cloth

Renaissance Wax is a highly refined micro-crystalline wax polish developed by the British Museum and used worldwide by conservators and craftspeople. It offers superior protection for metals, wood, leather, and more – ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

At Metal Offcuts, we’ve tested Renaissance Wax on a wide range of metal finishes, particularly copper and brass. It’s especially effective on mirror-polished surfaces, where it dramatically slows the rate of tarnish and helps maintain a clean, reflective finish with minimal upkeep.

This product is ideal for anyone using our metal discs cut to size in copper, brass, or zinc, whether for crafting, engraving, or decorative work.

Key Benefits:

• Long-lasting, fingerprint-resistant protection

• Works on brass, copper, zinc, steel, wood, leather, and marble

• Suitable for jewellery, plaques, sculptures, signage, and instruments

• Thin application goes a long way – better coverage than beeswax

• Easy to apply and remove (white spirit recommended for removal)

It’s no surprise that Renaissance Wax is used in major museums and collections, including those referenced by the British Museum’s Conservation Department itself.

Includes a free microfibre cloth – the same type we use in our own workshop for application and polishing.

Ideal for:

• Jewellery makers

• Craftspeople using brass, copper, and zinc

• Restoration of antiques and musical instruments

FAQs – Renaissance Wax Polish 200ml

1. What surfaces can I use Renaissance Wax on?
Renaissance Wax is suitable for use on metals (brass, copper, zinc, steel), wood, leather, marble, ceramics, and even photographs. It is widely used by conservators, restorers, and crafters alike.

2. How do I apply Renaissance Wax?
Apply a small amount using a soft cloth (such as the included microfibre cloth). Work in a thin, even layer and allow it to dry to a haze. Then buff gently to a shine. A little goes a long way.

3. Will it prevent brass or copper from tarnishing?
Yes, Renaissance Wax significantly reduces the speed and extent of tarnish on polished metals such as brass and copper. It’s especially useful for preserving mirror-finish surfaces.

4. Can I remove the wax if needed?
Yes, Renaissance Wax can be removed with white spirit (mineral spirits). This is helpful if you wish to reapply or change the finish.

5. How much area does the 200ml tin cover?
The wax is very efficient. One 200ml tin can cover a surprising amount of surface – many users report it lasts for years of light to moderate use.

6. Is it safe for outdoor items?
Yes. Renaissance Wax is moisture-resistant and suitable for outdoor use on statues, plaques, and other exposed metal surfaces. For best results, reapply periodically.

7. Does Renaissance Wax change the appearance of the surface?
No. It dries clear and does not yellow over time. It enhances the natural look of the material without leaving a greasy or sticky finish.
