And the AK you can actually shoot, and it'll be durable.Well the two cost about the same, around here anyways, the ak and the Colt that is.
On an AK? I guess to some they are like Colt Pythons?
I use the stuff on my blued guns and love it. It really is great stuff.
Well... a new in box polytech spiker worth well over 2k...I dont see the problem putting a 14 dollar wax on it...
What's up everyone.. decided to throw a coat of ren wax on my polytech today before work and decided to share my experience with it.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with it, but for those who are not. It is used in museums all over the world to preserve all sorts of different finishes. I decided to get some to try, and I'm really surprised by how good this stuff works! I havnt put any on the wood yet, but I hit one side and the dust cover of my ak, and it really does give it a barrier. I'm loving it!
Here are some before and after pictures...I condensed them into one pic, on top is the before..middle has the wax on..and bottom is was buffed off! I feel it gives it a nice sheen and it doesnt show any fingerprints!!

[/QUOTELOVE THEVSTUFF!!!!,
my uncle put linseed oil on his wood working tools, metal and all. Along with johnson paste wax.Good tools deserve the best possible anti-rust prevention, especially if they aren't being used often enough.

Good alternative to oil for rust prevention. I use it on everything.
Polytech? couldn’t just say AK? Go ahead and “rub it in” pun intended. My jar of ren wax is worth more than my Norinco lol

I agree. An AK is cheap stamped sheet steel that's riveted together. However, if I paid $2k for a gun (which I do), that's baby will be treated like gold.Not a problem. Do what makes you happy. I see a stamped sheet metal gun with rivets and I don’t think wax and buffing, I’m wondering where the patina is.
Exactly what I used it for until I got an all weather Henry 44 rifle which is hard chromed and has an industrial polyurethane on the stock and forend.I think it helps repel water when hunting in the rain and snow.
Earlier wax polishes based on beeswax and carnauba wax either contained acids or became acidic over time. Renaissance Wax is based on more stable microcrystalline waxes refined from crude oil.[6]
