Car Wax On Painted Furniture

Go over them with wax if so.

Car wax on painted furniture.

If you own stainless steel kitchen appliances consider using car wax to clean them instead of a surface cleaner. Apply a thin coat of car wax to stainless steel fridges and stoves. Bees wax and other waxes are still used to protect furniture but carnauba is the most common at this. Apply a coat of car wax to metal plastic or molded furniture to protect and add shine.

Buff clean to resist fingerprints and smudges. Because someone once told me it works great they had tried it and wax is wax. Unstick hinges photo by laura moss. Give faucets a shine photo by laura moss.

And some gorgeous effects can be created by using dark wax white wax or metallic wax. Work in large areas sweeping the wax over the paint. The wax forms on the trees leaves and protects them from heat and moisture. You are aiming to cover every bit of paint.

Simply apply a light coat of car wax to the appliance and buff clean to repel fingerprints and smudges. The task is relatively simple and yet crucial to the process. Because both chalk and milk painted furniture is porous in nature wax easily absorbs into the surface. When the wax hardens it seals the painted surface with a lovely natural looking soft sheen.

The wax itself is a naturally derived wax extracted from carnauba palm trees. Using an chalk paint wax brush or a lint free cloth apply chalk paint wax. Rub car wax onto kitchen and bathroom metal fixtures to keep them shiny and spot free. Ultimately the reason furniture wax is sold as the topcoat of choice for wax and milk paints is that unlike poly it will settle down into the porous paint finish and cure up over time.

The sheen can then be controlled by additional buffing. But not furniture wax. Any wax on the surface will limit your paint s ability to adhere to the wood making for far more chipping and rubbing off than one might hope for with a freshly renovated piece of furniture.

I tried car wax on a painted dresser makeover. Use car wax to lubricate the hinges of garden shears and. When scratched it won t flake off in big chunks like poly because in essence it becomes part of the paint s finish. Check that you haven t missed any sections.
