HOWARD Ax Wax Wood Instrument Polish [This one product provides polishing, moisturizing, and protection for wood.] HOWARD's "Axe Wax Wood Instrument Polish" is a care wax developed for wooden musical instruments, including guitars and basses. A blend of natural beeswax, Brazilian carnauba wax (known as a hard natural wax), and USP-grade food-grade mineral oil. It moisturizes the wood, prevents drying and cracking, and brings out the beautiful grain and natural luster. [Smoothness and protective effect that cannot be achieved with oil alone] The mineral oil in Axe Wax penetrates the wood to condition it, while beeswax and carnauba wax protect the surface. Compared to general oil-based maintenance, the wax components help retain the oil in the wood, resulting in longer-lasting effects and keeping the neck and fretboard smooth and comfortable. If wiped properly, it is less likely to leave a sticky or waxy residue on the surface, and there is no need to worry about wax getting on your fingers or strings while playing. [Protects wood from drying, sweat, and dirt] A protective film made of natural wax shields the wood from sweat, moisture, and dirt during playing. It can help prevent cracking of the neck and fretboard due to dryness, and can also help to make minor scratches and slight surface irregularities less noticeable. It enhances the natural color and grain of the wood, and gives well-used instruments a natural sheen and texture. [Compatible with vintage guitars] Axe Wax was developed with musical instrument use in mind. It can be used on a wide range of instruments, including vintage guitars, nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, polyurethane finishes, and other wooden instrument finishes. It does not contain silicones or harsh chemicals, and is free of resins, polymers, adhesives, and alcohol.
