[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 4521044, member: 75143"][B]Brown, again[/B]. This first image is after using Jax. I guess I didn't take a before picture, but there was just a slight darkening of the reddish spots. [ATTACH=full]1119995[/ATTACH] This picture is after application of Ren Wax. As you can see, it not only made the coin glossier, but also evened out the discolorations in the patina. [ATTACH=full]1119996[/ATTACH] Finally, as a "Control" piece, we have a coin that was NOT subjected to Jax and ONLY Ren Wax. Fresh out of lye, we have a rough, and discolored piece. [ATTACH=full]1119997[/ATTACH] Without using any advertised "patina restoration" products, and ONLY using Renaissance Wax, the result is pretty decent. [ATTACH=full]1119998[/ATTACH] [B]FINAL SCORES[/B] Ease of Use - 9/10. Just soak and rinse. Satisfaction - 3/10. Don't expect to repair your coin with this - you will be disappointed. Effectiveness - 2/10. This sort of works, but Ren Wax does almost exactly the same thing. [B]Color Scores[/B] Green - 1/10. There was almost no effectiveness whatsoever. Brown - 5/10. This actually did something. However, Ren Wax does the same thing. Brown/Black - 2/10. I didn't see much of a change at all. Black - 8/10. Finally, something that [B]does something[/B]. Out of all four colors, I would recommend Black. At the very least, it will change the color of the coin, at least much more than the other compounds. [B]Recommendation[/B] DO NOT BUY. [I]Maybe[/I] get a bottle of the Black, but the other colors are next to worthless. [B]Avenues for Improvement[/B] Maybe make something that's more like a dye, and less like something that doesn't work. The only one that had any impact was the Black. [B]Conclusion[/B] All-but-useless products. Save your money and get a tin of Ren Wax instead, and you'll get about 80% of the same result. On the rare occassion you have something that's [I]rekt[/I] like the Philip was, then the Black Jax will help. Otherwise, it won't do a darn thing.[/QUOTE]
