Wax for Armour

[Reddwarf]

My son purchased (not my recommendation) some armour at the Renaissance Faire south of Dallas.

The seller told him to clean it with alcohol and put car wax on it. He was eager to wax it so I gave him some Meg's Cleaner Wax thinking that might be a good fit.

In my last order I bought a bottle of Chemical Guys Metal Wax Ultra Fine Metal Polish & Protection. Hopefully that will work well on the armor. I'm going to build a stand for him so he can display it when not wearing it.

I would think the metal polish would do much better. I recently polished the stainless on my friends semi with Garry Dean's Robo Shine and I was quite impressed with it.

That's COOL !!!!

 

[Ronkh]

don't have an answer, just had to say that it's cool

He plans to add to it. I am hoping he does that over years.

is the armor steel? period armor usually is.

That's awesome!! Very very cool!!

Collinite metal wax gets my vote.

Be careful if he grabs a horse and then shows up at a girls house to be her.........

(he better keep it waxed well for that day)

Yep, it is steel.

traditionalists use olive oil to coat the metal (i've used wd-40 but it tends to darken the metal a bit). i like the wax idea but would like to try out some blackfire metal sealant
BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Metal Acrylic Sealant.

It depends on the level of sheen you want. A pure metal polish is going to increase the shine considerably, although it looks like Meg's Cleaner/Wax did a great job.

For a metal wax, I would go with BLACKFIRE's Wet Diamond Acrylic Metal Sealant.
