Renaissance Wax/Polish
I wonder how many use this wax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance_Wax.
I would be interested to hear what others think of it. It's widely commented on in the various Woody US forums and I presume equally used as well.Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso

I have some Renaissance Wax which I have used on wood (boxwood, Cocuswood, african blackwood), ivory, hard rubber, Sterling silver, nickelsilver and brass parts of antique flutes (18th and 19th century). It is very good at quick, clear and matte coverage which holds up fairly well with infrequent handling.
The instruments I handle (ie. play) frequently tend to need Ren Wax reapplication much more readily. It's also not very nice smelling - a mild but still harsh petrochemical aroma.
Application is with a cloth by hand. The matte-ish finish is similar to my experience with Carnuba wax.
For the mouth/chin touchpieces (flute embochure) I use a pipe wax called Paragon Wax which is very, very good. Longlasting and no odour.
However it is much more expensive per gram/ounce so I can't use it exclusively.

Hope that helps. I have not used either on newly made/turned wood projects. I would just use Carnuba myself.
