Growing up, we always used Johnsons paste wax for about everything. Some kind of wax with mineral spirits solvent. Wondering, what kind of wax is it?
On my cars, I use ( used to as modern high tech stuff) carnauba wax.
A lot is said for bees wax. Can't go without my Snow Seal on my boots! In a solvent of some type.
There is paraffin wax. I keep a fat candle for my planes and saws. I think it can be dissolved in solvents/oils to a paste.
Some have lemon or orange extracts. A lot have no hint to what is in them.
What wax is preferable for wood finishing over/with various oils. BLO usually. Don't care about "food safe". I don't eat my saw handles or side tables.
Wondering if the modern automotive "ceramic" magic waxes would be better on our tool tables. I use them on my fiberglass shower stall and it does make cleaning easier. I have yet to test on ceramic tiles and grout but it makes sense as long as no cleaner or white residue.
