Mac’s Wax can be applied in multiple different ways, to multiple different products, for multiple solutions . . . .
RAW WOOD
Apply the Mac’s Wax to the surface liberally from close proximity, avoiding direct impingement from a height which can "impact feed" the wood leaving a temporary darker spot.
Using a rag, sponge or brush, spread the Mac’s Wax liberally over the surface to ensure good, even penetration.
Keep the surface from drying out for 10 to 15 minutes or so by spreading and “topping up” if necessary.
Leave to soak, the longer the soak the better the wax build on the surface (Overnight is good).
Then buff up with a clean dry cloth to a healthy lustre.
Results will improve with every application thereafter.
Be patient, Mac’s wax can take up to 3 months to fully develop its famous patina!
LACQUERED SURFACES
Apply enough Mac’s Wax with a cloth to just moisten the surface.
Allow to stand for about 5 minutes.
Buff up to a healthy sheen with a clean dry cloth.
Depending on temperature and humidity, Mac’s wax can take a few days to become fully finger-marking resistant.
LEATHER
Remember that Mac’s Wax will tend to darken leather, so bear this in mind when applying to light coloured leathers.
Always test a small inconspicuous area to confirm you are satisfied with the result before proceeding.
Leave to soak, the longer the soak the better the wax build on the surface (Overnight is good).
Mac’s wax softens leathers by penetrating deep into the leather fibres and lubricating them, so bear that in mind when deciding how much Mac’s Wax to apply in each case.
Either soak (saddles straps etc) or apply light coats (shoes, handbags etc) as above.
BBQs
Mac’s Wax is amazingly effective at removing the "fat splatter" from all non-cook surfaces of your BBQ.
This includes stainless steel, plastic, paint and wood.
Apply liberally and wipe off with a clean cloth or paper towel after a short soaking time.
Apply Mac’s Wax to the stainless steel surfaces and see the finger marks disappear!
Allow 48 hours to dry completely after application.
Finally, buff to provide a surface that actually resists further finger marking.
PLASTICS
Apply Mac’s Wax sparingly as you would to "lacquered surfaces".
Buff up to a healthy sheen after a short drying time.
GRANITE TOPS
Apply as you would to "raw wood", but more sparingly.
