Anyone here have used car wax other than the car?

[Escape08]

I've used TW Super Hard Shell paste wax(original formula) 101+ uses on Refrigerator, Washing Machine, KitchenAid Mixer, Porcelain table lamps, kitchen ceramic tiles, etc.

Yes hi temp sealant on the oven, left over carnauba wax on the countertop etc. Makes spills and food wipe off easy. My computer desk gets a light coat of quick wax once a year.

I use it on my mountain bicycle, the deck of my walk behind mower and the hood of my riding mower. There are other uses that I can't think of right now.

I've used it on glass shower doors. After removing all the hard water deposits, give the glass a good coat of wax and the water just runs right off it and keeps the deposits from forming. Lasts a few months, rinse and repeat.

I frequently use collinite 885 / 476s on my pinball playfields that have the old skool laquer finish.

Me too. I forgot that one.

Collinite 845 for all kinds of things. Just did my tool boxes - dust (and saw dust) just flies off.

You can use Protect-All on anything. Turntable dust covers is my favorite off label use.

Collinite 476 on furniture( non antique).

I like using the Turtle wax ceramic spray on my phones screen protector. I’ve also used it on chintzy plastic fan blades… doesn’t cut down on what builds up on the very edge obviously, but along the rest of the blade it seems to help.

I used to use plain Mothers Carnauba paste wax on cast iron surfaces of my tablesaw, jointer, drill press, etc. It worked Ok, but even a thin coat could get wax on the workpiece, causing finishing problems later.

Now, there is a dedicated product (Bostik Glide Coat) that works just as well without contaminating the workpiece with wax.

However, for long term storage, I think wax works better. Plain wax, no need for the polishing compounds or any of the other additives in automotive waxes. I still have an ancient can of Mothers in my garage for the machines.

Bicycle frames are a great application.

AC unit, CDs and DVDs, and when I had it, glass shower door.
