Would this remove candle wax from a very old brass candelabra without discoloring the brass?

I've only used this on cloth, so I can't say either way. I'd try one of two things. If there is a spot that won't be readily seen, try a bit there. You could also try running very hot water over it to soften the wax which would make it easier to remove. Not knowing the size of the candelabra or how ornate it is, I don't know if this will help you. Good luck!

Yes, but rough up the brass slightly first with a scotch brite. The patina will work much faster that way. After neutralizing in a water + baking soda bath, rub lightly with baking soda on your finger to get that antiqued look and brighten up the high spots for interesting texture. Check You Tube for some great video how-tos.

Yes, I did. It will darken it a little, especially in a scratch. I was unable to find a light color wax.

It is just a polish not a protective finish so the brass immediately slowly starts oxidizing and darkening. It would probably be good for a year before the brass looked sufficiently dark enough to need repolishing. Kitchen brass of course would darken more quickly.

Hi G.Have you cleaned this bronze statue? If not I would use a cleaner specifically for bronze metal first. As far as the Renaissance wax goes I highly recommend it. How often you may use it could depend on your indoor environment. But it can be used as often as you like without harm. The wax is very thin, goes on very well. It does have a bit of an odor BUT that dissipates shortly. Renaissance is the choice of museums world wide for rare & valuable items. That's why I use it.

Depends on how porous the trim is. It could stain, so just wipe it off quickly. If you want stain free then use ultimate wax.

I am assuming, as a pro finisher, Osmo will work with certain stains and dyes, but I would definitely remove old finish such as wax. You want the oil soaking into the wood.

I say yes, tumble it, brass comes out clean, but dark and blotchy.Also make sure you dry them out very well, water stays in the primer area, and if you load a primer with moisture in it, it will kill the primer. Tumbling will help with this.

Nancy, I'm not sure. I have had some luck in the removal of water rings but have not tried it on wax build up. What I will say is that this product will not damage anything if you were to try it. It is oil so if it can it will be absorbed, it will. I have an antique tray type coffee table and when people don't use coasters, water rings will result. I generously apply Milsek, wait a bit, then wipe off the excess. My water stains are gone. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Wade

I am not sure. If it's brass I don't know if the color would throw off the glow. It will definitely ruin the instrument

sorry - I only used wenol on brass, where it worked great, albeit, with a little elbow grease.

I am not positive about a stained wax finish. What I can tell you is that I have used this polish successfully on antiques, on hand-rubbed/stained furniture made more recently and on other pieces of contemporary furniture and it worked well on all. If you have an out of the way spot, like the edge of a drawer or the back, try a sample. My guess is it will be fine.

I have only used it on very bright, well cleaned brass, and it worked very well. Just make sure the copper is very clean and that it has not been previously coated with anything.

I don't know..I have used it on mostly brass..I think it probably would work..would not be afraid to try it

Yes! I have a dishwater or sandy shade of blonde and it helps with the brass. :)

If you are referring to the rock type, slate, perhaps it will. Slate is very porous; it will absorb the product. I would carefully use a scraper first. Use of any wax remover product with petroleum distillates (as this one has) could change the hue of the slate rock to be darker due to the absorption of the product. I would test in an inconspicuous place on that slate, if possible. Once the wax is removed, you might consider having a clean cloth with a bit of the Candle Wax Remover on it to gloss over the whole piece to keep a more even 'look' to the slate.
