[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2853429, member: 26077"] Spot on. BEFORE trying to apply any wax whether carnuba or Renaissance, take alcohol and thoroughly clean all oil from metal and wood. On the metal i give it a go over with acetone for good measure but DO NOT get that stuff on plastic, wood finishes etc. Only after a good degrease will you get the wax finish you want and the wax needs to go on very thin. I let it dry overnight before buffing it. Even after a proper job, finger prints will shoow as there is moisture and oil on your hands. If all it took was wax all the bad guys would be doing it rather than wearing gloves. What the wax does is stop the moisture and salts from those prints eating into the blue. [/QUOTE]
