The best wax to use is a can of shoe shine wax, NOT the liquid stuff, the old fashioned can stuff. The shoe shine wax has carnauba wax. I use different colors for different colored wood. Clear for light or fruit wood which I think yours might be. Burgandy for mahogany, brown for oak and black for ebony etc. Some times when the finish is missing in spots,</p><p>I use a darker color.</p><p> If the metal does not come clean with the mineral oil, I would do the cleaning and waxing of the wood and then try warm water and mild soap with a toothbrush.
