Hi Valjhun,

I mean non-fluid car wax. I don’t know how fluid wax performs, but I do know that solid wax has worked for me for more than forty years.

I wish you all the best of luck with your ‘new’ Indian pieces, and hope for you that it will be many more.

There is another type of wax used in the British Museum called Renaissance Wax. google it and you can purchase it - I use it on my toys often.

Yes, I have also heard of Ren Wax as beind non-acidic, and especially suitable for Damascus Steel. Presumable, regular car wax has some small amount of acid and can harm/darken Damascus pattern after a while.

Valjhun, I have a question for you:
I bought a can of Ren Wax via E-Bay a while ago. It came without any seal, and I am not sure I got the "Real Deal". Is original Ren Wax of white color, soft and has very distinct smell of a shoe polish?????

Hmmm... I recived it quite the same... I guess that's it..
