<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fern77, post: 4296374, member: 16131&quot;]Hello again, and yes to all of the above. I&#039;ll take you through the detail to make sure.</p><p>If you can&#039;t get a readymade beeswax polish, which will do, melt pure beeswax 50-50 with white spirits in a double boiler (balneum Mariae) and let it cool down until warm and not liquid anymore. Apply with a soft cloth covering all the surface (though I know some pros do use fine steel wool for this sometimes, you risk killing the patina), and remove excess wax with another rag while still soft. Let it dry a few minutes, go over the whole thing with a clean rag, but just until the dull is gone and you see a bit of shine. Let it dry some more and apply a second coat. After that, wait an hour or two--or leave it for the next day if not too impatient-- and buff vigorously with a clean cloth until really shinny. At this point you might determine you need to apply a third coat, or maybe not. Repeat once a year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
