I use JPW for the wood. It's easier to touch up the wax after each use so the lacquer lasts longer, but almost all car type waxes have abrasives in them. I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

If you renew the wax a little at each cleaning, (whole gun) it's a great way of protecting things. Last edited by Ken61; 12/07/16 04:53 PM.
