A stick version of Microcrystalline Wax, instant drying and very hard wearing.
During a demo some time ago Chestnut were asked why they didn’t have a stick version of the Microcrystalline Wax – and they couldn’t think of a good answer why not so went ahead and made one!
This is the same wax used in the tinned version of Microcrystalline Wax but in a solid block form with no solvent. This means there’s no waiting around for it to dry before buffing it.
Like the original version, this wax should be used very sparingly, a little goes a very long way and once applied it might even be necessary to spread it thinner using Safety Cloth (the texture of this makes it ideal for this purpose).
The Microcrystalline Wax Stick is also perfect for use on the Buffing Wheel System, use it on Wheel C to buff up to a brilliant, hard wearing finish.
