AFC Finishing & Sealing Wax Combo For Chalky Paint Furniture & Wood

The combo includes four paste waxes:
• AFC Finishing & Liming Wax White (150 g) — for limed/whitewashed effects.
• AFC Finishing, Restoring & Antique Wax Dark Brown (150 g) — for antiquing/ageing.
• AFC Finishing & Restoring Wax Black (150 g) — for deep, authentically aged shading.
• AFC Shabby Finishing Wax Clear (250 g) — for sealing, polishing, and protecting painted or raw wood finishes.

• Clear (Shabby) Wax seals and protects chalk-painted, hand-painted, and raw wood, delivering a smooth, smear-free finish.
• White (Liming) Wax creates a soft whitewash/“limed” look and refreshes pale or white finishes.
• Dark Brown Wax adds warm antique depth over chalk paint or timber to emphasise age and patina.
• Black Wax produces stronger shadowing in crevices and edges for an authentically aged effect.

All four waxes can be applied to raw timber or to stained and sealed finishes. They are particularly useful for chalk-painted/decoratively painted furniture and restoration projects.

A proven workflow is:

1. Seal with Clear Wax (thin, even coat; buff).

2. Add effect with White, Dark Brown, or Black Wax where you want liming or antiquing.

3. Lock-in with a light final pass of Clear Wax and buff.
   This approach gives control over intensity and makes tonal effects easier to blend.

Work in thin coats: apply with a soft cloth or wax brush, allow a short set time, then buff thoroughly to a smooth, sealed sheen. The pastes are quick-drying and designed for easy buffing—no hard rubbing required.

No. The AFC finishing waxes are quick-drying and require no curing time, so projects can be completed efficiently.

The waxes are manufactured in Australia using pure Australian beeswax and carnauba with added pigments (for the coloured variants). The formulas use safe ingredients and contain no harmful petro-chemicals.

Yes — the formulas are designed to be safe for painted surfaces, non-stripping, and free from harmful petrochemicals. They’re well-suited for interior and decorative furniture applications.

Be careful with areas exposed to frequent moisture or heavy wear — wax is not as durable as hard seal coatings (e.g. polyurethane).
Also, applying too thick a layer or failing to buff well may lead to uneven curing or tackiness.
Many guides recommend very thin coats and proper buffing to avoid these problems.

The finishing pastes are formulated for a smooth, smear-free finish. The Shabby Clear paste is a high-performance beeswax polish that never builds up when used correctly (thin coats, proper buffing).

Yes. The entire Aussie Furniture Care range of finishing waxes and polishes are Australian made using locally sourced beeswax and tree oils, supporting Australian manufacturing and ensuring premium quality.

White brightens and softens, ideal for coastal/washed looks or to refresh pale paint.
• Dark Brown warms and ages, emphasising edges, mouldings, and recesses.
• Black intensifies shadow, adding dramatic depth on darker schemes.
• Clear preserves the base colour while adding a gentle sheen and protection.

Avoid heavy coats (they slow set-up and can feel tacky). Always buff away excess for a sealed, touch-dry finish. For pronounced effects, build intensity with multiple light passes rather than one thick application.

Always test in an inconspicuous area before full application. Results may vary depending on furniture age, finish, and type of timber. Aussie Furniture Care is not responsible for damage caused by incorrect use.
