At times I have heard the term "high melt wax".
Can anyone give me any advise on a brand name,where to find it,
and also how to use the product and if it has any advantage.

Advise would be appricated,

Traditional Wax U-Beaut Polishes (http://www.ubeaut.biz) Contains carnauba wax, cerecine and ozocerite all melt at temps from 76deg C to 87deg C and are much harder than most other polishing waxes yet easier to apply and use.

High melts are recommended as a better polish than beeswax which can be softened by body heat and will accept finger marks and dust etc.

Can I plug the traditionaly wax, huh, huh, huh, can I, can I, Please, please huh, huh, can I, can I.................:D

I started off waxing my work with a home made wax, predominantly made up of bee's wax. The initial finish was very nice and the "shine" was totally acceptable. HOWEVER after only about a week sitting out in the living room in "warm ole Victoria" I started to notice the lustre starting to fade and the surface took on an opaque look rather than the initial shine. So I took the plunge and bought a small container (5 litre I do believe) of the U-beaut Traditional Wax. I simply applied it over the existing wax and buffed it with the "swansdown mop" (also available from U-beaut) the finish was incredible. The finish is harder, shinier and more dificult to "scuff". That was almost 2 months ago and I still pause to look in wonder at the finish each time I pass the bowl, which has maintained the same look from the time I polished it.

"the author of this message in now way recieves any gratuities from U-beaut for endorsing thier products, but is open to negotiations :" :cool:
