warwickhunt Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 You can buy loads of stuff over the counter to feed/treat wood, most proprietary furniture polishes that contain beeswax will do. You could use the wax that Warwick offer for their natural finishes or boiled linseed oil etc. It's a matter of personal choice as they all have distinctive smells and leave your bass with a slightly different feel/texture. Save yourself some time and money before you start experimenting and visit that cupboard under the kitchen sink first; look for Mr. Sheen with wax!

peted Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 To look after my natural finish Warwick I use Warwick finishing wax: [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/Catalogue/ViewProduct.aspx?productId=1089"]http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/Catalogue/V...?productId=1089[/url] The tub that came with my bass has lasted me a good few years now. Will probably need to buy more by the end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Stay away from Mr. Sheen, that has silicon in and that makes finishing pro's angry. Everyone hates silicon. Unless it hasn't got silicon in and I made that up. Natural beeswax, Rustins wood finishing products are all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martthebass Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 To continue the pedantic theme - Silicone contains silicon so in principle if the polish contains silicone it also contains silicon (just not elemental silicon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
