Question Bees Wax..........

Whilst visiting a Furniture store yesterday I noticed that you can buy Top Quality Bees Wax and other natural creams and waxes for furniture. These are non-abrasive and contain only natural products, ie:- no cemicals, Can you use these on a car and what effect on the paint whould these products have.

I'd look for a properly formulated product for vehicles myself. Plenty of them about

As bengie says - it probably won't rub in properly as it's most likely designed to work with wood, where it can soak in. How much was the product you looked at anyway?

Can't remember the price Wardy but it wasn't badly priced. It was the bees wax for Piano's that got me thinking..................Andy

Beeswax is softer than Carnauba wax, so it wouldn't last as long on a car.

Some car waxes do have beeswax in them, but along with carnauba too...
