Floor wax on my shotgun

[MD]

I found a jar of very old but still malleable wood floor wax in a free box after a yard sale and I've been putting it on the butt stock and fore-end of my Remington 870 Express.

It works remarkable well and the cheap birch (or whatever "hardwood") is remarkably water resistant and the well preserved despite quite a few years of hard use.

Car paste wax works well also on old guns and even old, dirty furniture. The micro abrasive qualities do a nice job of restore sheen and the wax protects the wood.
