I'm working on cleaning my XVI so I'll be ordering New life furniture masque which should hopefully clean it up nicely, but I thought I might also give renaissance wax a try. I've heard the stuff is used in museums, but how good would it be for an alligatored victrola finish? Is it easy to remove?

Re: Renaissance wax?
I use it, it’s wonderful. It’s not going to really dress up an alligatored finish though. Removal is as simple as using New Life or GoJo.

Does any wax help alligatored finish?

Alright I think that clears things up. I'm going to order it anyway since I suspect it will work well on my other machines.

Re: Renaissance wax?
I've found Renaissance Wax to be excellent for a top coat on metal surfaces which need protection and a slight luster- at the museum I work at we use it on bronze statuary. It should also be fine on wood, but considering the price I'd hesitate to use it on a large cabinet instead of a regular paste wax like Butcher's.

Re: Renaissance wax?
It’s not really that much. $20 a jar and I’ve done several large machines with 1 jar. To me it’s worth it.estott wrote:I've found Renaissance Wax to be excellent for a top coat on metal surfaces which need protection and a slight luster- at the museum I work at we use it on bronze statuary.
