I had used CCL stock oil, but after 20 years the oil my little bottle was getting where it was taking a very long time to dry. I read about renaissance wax over the years, almost all positive. So I ordered a tin of it. I do like it, very quick and easy to apply. Makes a nice glow on the stock. I haven't used it on metal yet. Just can't stop wiping down metal with an oily rag.
