Mother's Caranuba Cleaner Wax is my favorite. I've found it at WalMart (Automotive Dept), O-Reilly's auto parts, AutoZone, and other similar outfits.
I've tried all the high dollar waxes and such, and keep coming back to the Mother's Wax. I comes in a red colored can (it's a paste wax). Different people like/use different waxes...about the only caution I would state, is to NOT use any type of silicon wax....silicon will trap moisture beneath it, and actually cause tarnish/rust spots. __________________ WWW.CAFFREYKNIVES.NET Caffreyknives@gmail.com "Every CHOICE has a CONSEQUENCE, and all your CONSEQUENCES are a result of your CHOICES." |
