Renaissance Wax Polish
I'm a sucker for obscure household products with cute packaging, like this "Renaissance Wax Polish":
Greek key, lion's head, New York magazine type. But what does it do? So much that Amanda (who opened the info packet in the mail today) kept murmuring "this is amazing ... amazing" until I turned down SkyFM All Hit 70s at my desk and was like "Mmhmmyeahwhat?" She brought it over and suggested I blog. Developed by researchers at the British Museum in the 1950s, the wax cleans and restores almost ANY material-- wood, metal, even paper -- with a combination of natural and man-made waxes that won't harm original finishes. Works so well that a gal named Her Majesty the Queen appointed Picreator Enterprises Ltd. (its distributor) Official Supplier of Products for Restoration and Conservation. $15 for a 65ml/2.25 fl.oz. tin at restorationproduct.com.
Can I use it as a pomade? Dessert topping?
i can't comment on how it would be as a dessert topping, but my hubby uses it in his woodworking endeavors and seems to love it.
I use it on my copper molds and bowls so that they don't tarnish as quickly in our humidity. It's amazing stuff, and you don't need to use a lot to get it to work.
Jeremy Piven polishes his tubular steel with it.
Seriously, though, I love stuff like that. I actually like polishing silver and ironing napkins when I have the time. Feeling domestic is the new luxury (I know, I know.. I am like 20 years behind Martha... a little late to the homekeeping trend...)
Me too! My sweet dad actually told the cleaning lady not polish the tea set "because Nickolas likes to do that when he comes home." Aww.
