<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 3984663, member: 90772&quot;]Renaissance wax polish was originally formulated in the British Museum research laboratories in the early 1950’s, in response to a discussion amongst museum technicians at an international conference on fine-art conservation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Its unique qualities make it ideal for protecting all surfaces from environmental attack or handling. The wax is, for example, replacing the preservative oiling of arms and armor in museums. The wax is hard and dry and does not, like oil, remain sticky and attract atmospheric acidity.</p><p><br /></p><p>It has a crystalline structure much finer than totally natural waxes, a property that confers a highly efficient moisture resistance. Countless statues and monuments in city streets are now protected by Renaissance wax from weathering corrosion. Arms and armor, steel and kitchen equipment of brass and copper, in historic house museums, are kept bright and corrosion-free. When thinly applied and rubbed out to full luster, the wax film is (and remains) glass-clear, with no discoloration either of the wax or the underlying surface. ------EPI pdf</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s really bad stuff, huh? Seems to me that it might protect coins from the potentially destructive oils that are deposited by your fingers when handling them. I use it on some of my coins. Not the ones with significant porosity, or original dirt, of course. Good product.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
