Hi, I'm a great lover of Tre-Wax (I got mine at ACE Hardware). No water spots, gives the wood a very good shine and it lasts long also. It comes in two flavors, get the Clear NOT the Indian Sand.
Good Luck!

Johnson's Floor Wax (cheap) and Rennisance Wax (especially for metal protection - expensive). No detectable difference in performance to date. The Ren wax is, however, supposed to be absolutely acid free and is used at many museums (good recommendation). For as long as a tin of wax lasts, the Ren wax is cheap enough.

I have waxed a few of my stocks, and have not been pleased with the results. Have tried Watco liquid, Johnson's and Tre-Wax paste, and have buffed them down to a microscopic film, as is appropriate with most waxes. They always look great when done, but that is not the problem. When I hunt doves in really hot weather with moderate to high humidity, the stocks get gummy and hold all kinds of sweat and dirt. I'm talking really hot, like 115 and 90% humidity; think Yuma during monsoon season. For those of you in hot climates (Dr. Drew?), what has been your experience and is there a wax that you know will work in these conditions? Thanks.

I have used the much promoted Ren-Wax and was not excited about its protection. Probably fine for museum guns that are not handled frequently but for everyday protection of the metal parts a wipedown of silicone, Sheath, CLP or any common rust preventative seems to last just as long. JMO&E, of course.

I'm located in Dr Drews area and have used Flitzs' Gun Wax for years for conditions like high altitude big game hunting to low altitude Quail hunting. The warmest conditions I ever remember hunting in has been the 70s with the coldest being below freezing with rain or snow. I've experienced absolutely no trouble with this product. It's prevented rust and has never gummed up on me. However;I agree that 115 degrees and high humidity would test the mettle of just about any product.
