Brown Wax: Adds warmth and depth to brown timbers, while filling fine cracks and splits.
-
Black Wax: Richly pigmented, perfect for dark brown or black furniture, ideal for Asian imports and distressed pieces. Not recommended for light woods.
How often should I apply the wax?
For most furniture, apply every 3–6 months. High-use pieces (like dining tables) may need more frequent care. Between wax applications, you can use AFC Quick Polish Liquid Wax for easier upkeep but do not use it over the brown or black wax as it will remove the coloured wax.
How do I apply the furniture wax properly?
-
Apply a small amount to a clean, lint-free cotton cloth.
- When using the brown or black wax for filling fine splits put extra wax on the cloth and push it into the split and wipe off excess.
-
Rub in a circular motion, finishing along the grain.
-
Allow to dry until it squeaks when rubbed with your fingertips.
-
Buff with a second soft cloth along the grain.
-
For the best finish, use two thin coats instead of one thick coat.
