Doyle,

Auto wax is not a good choice as it has chemicals in it that will affect the wood that comes in contact with it. Use Johnson's paste wax for best results. If not Johnson's, any furniture paste wax will work the same.

Yup, just Johnsons or Minwax Paste Wax is all you need. Rub it on good and let it haze and buff it. I do 2 coats and it's good for 3-4 months. Like Bob says, some of the car wax's these days will have silicones and other junk that will affect the finish on your wood.

Corey, you have a very nice shop, everything is nicely organized. I have to keep my table saw in the garage, I don't have a good enough dust collector.

Corey and Bob
Thanks a bunch...
Paste wax it is then. Had some at one time---bet it is dried out by now. Matter of fact, been so long, don't remember where I put it - hmmmm seems allot of things fall into that category.
Thanks again
Take care
Doyle
