This is the first I've heard of the Flitz Wax. I use and love Renaissance Wax. I'm interested to hear what folks think about the new Flitz stuff.

I wasn't aware that Flitz made a wax. I've used their polish for years to clean up mild surface rust on blades. Renaissance works really well as a protective barrier. I'd be interested to hear from someone who has used both as well.

I too have not heard about the Flitz wax. I am both knife maker and wood turner. When I spray lacquer on my wood turnings, I polish them with a liquid polish compound and then apply the Renaissance wax. Wow, what a pop. This wax is easy to apply, last's well and i use damn little on each piece. One little can has lasted me 8 years so far (no drying out). Good luck.

I have used the above two, of the pair I would use Ren wax.
if I had to pick one wax, I would chose Lustra Wax http://usaknifemaker.com/lustra-wax-1lb-clear-replaces-briwax.html
It's big enough to be real economical and it goes on metal, wood and leather.

This is gona sound strange, but my personal favorite is Mother's Caranuba Cleaner wax from Walmart. I think at one time or the other I've tried/used just about every "wax" out there.....including Ren and Flitz........and I keep going back to the Mother's.

Not at all!

My best all time wax for protecting the wood & metal on my knives was Rain Dance car wax. I also have used Ren, Flitz, etc.

I haven't seen the Rain Dance for a few years so now it's Back to Flitz Rifle & Gun Wax.

Many of these Caranuba/wax based products work well. Ren wax is the most expensive.

Ed I have heard you say this before and tried the mothers. I am not sure if I got the wrong wax or what but it alwyas leaves a gritty residue and leaves a hazy finish even after wiping it off. I ordere both the flitz and ren wax and am going to see which works better.

I've used the Mothers wax on quite a few handles and I love it. Never thought about using in on the blade. For the blade, I use a thin coat of Ren Wax. It works well.
