Stephen,
For what it's worth, I'll throw in my opinion. In over 30 years of woodworking, I've used just about everything out there at one time or another. I've even made up my own formulations. For the past 7-10 years I have used Renaissance Paste Wax exclusively for my fine furniture, jewelry cabinets, etc. This product is used by museums worldwide, including the British Museum, Smithsonian, and a host of others. It is what is called a micro-crystalline wax, and it does not yellow, leave waxy residues, etc. It is expensive, at about $25.00 for a 200 ml. can, but a little goes a long way. I get mine from Highland Hardware in Atlanta.
I use it in combination with Earthpaint's Bio Poly NT, a product that I have been using for a couple of years and really like. I would add that I am not affiliated with Earthpaint, and have not received anything as compensation for this endorsement, I'm just a satisfied customer.
I hope this helps.
Matt
