Rare Victorian Forum

Occasionally I have used a carnuba or beeswax based product to wax a piece, however if used it should be done sparingly.  Once a decade should be plenty in my opinion.  Avoid the use of anything with silicone in it like the plague, as you will potentially cause a nightmare for future restorers/refinishers.  This would typically include all the sprays such as Pledge or Endust.  Normally I will simply use a damp (not wet, wring out all the water first) cloth to pick up dust and have never damaged a shellac finish useing that approach.
