Has any one used EEE Ultra Shine on polishing reel seats etc. It is wax based polishing compound used on pens. It really does a great job for a final sanding step.

I was wondering if the birchwood casey gunstock wax would make a good final finish without using tru oil etc first. The product directions suggest it waterproofs because of the silicon content along with a carnuba wax. I turned a sample piece of buckeye burl and the wax really gave a nice smooth finish satin gloss finish.

The wax is fine, but like any wax, it's a temporary coating. You'll have to re-apply it often.

Another good wax, and somewhat harder and longer lasting, is the HUT PPP white bar. You'll need a buffing wheel or lathe to apply it, but it's a pretty tough product.

i use the EEE wax on reel seats and handles for the final sanding step. Very easy and does a great job. I usually cover with true oil after.
