Today bee's wax is occasionally used in Automobile waxes but normally it is most used in household furniture wax and polishes. You can create your own wax easily, my ancestors did in the plantation on Cape Cod, this is the relatively simple process together with fun too. First you need a couple of pots to boil in and then a pot of hot water. Liquid Beeswax furniture polish is simple, use one quarter cup of ivory soap, one quarter pound of beeswax, 1 glass of turpentine and about half a cup of water. Dissolve the soap in hot water, put the shaved wax into the turpentine and then slowly but surely melt together, then pour the soap mixture into the mix and stir using a wooden spoon, once well stirred pour it into a glass jar and you've got it, very easy. Bees wax cream furniture polish which could also be used on cars with lessened amount of turpentine is made by using and mixing quarter lb of beeswax, 2 glasses of turpentine, quarter cup associated with liquid Ivory soap, 1 mug of warm to cooking food water and quarter mug of pine oil. The only difference it you must make sure all that beeswax is dissolved primary and cool then mix it into the warm soapy water until it congeals and then reheat together and dissolve. If you reduce the turpentine content you may use it on your vehicle too. It goes on smooth plus it works good. Even though, I am partial to Carnauba wax for cars for it's being user friendly, but from a realistic standpoint of protection the carnauba only lasts 3 months while the beeswax liquefy might last slightly longer. For solid beeswax home furnishings polish, which is preferred with the antique dealers we met on the back roads of NH, VT and Maine, all you do is use equal numbers of linseed oil, beeswax together with turpentine. The finished product is golden brown and listen to through and looks loaded in content. Now you get lemon oil smell in furniture polish, which can easily be added to the boiling water through the process. There are plenty of good waxes to use on cars you would not put with surfboards, furniture or sculptures. Wax is found in the human ear also. There are actually two different types plus your genetics dictate which one you might have. Most plants have a thin protective coating of wax also. Most fruit and citrus trees and vegetables plants have wax to the fruit, leaves and vegetables they produce that him and i eat. Many animals and even some fish also organically produce waxes. Other wax components are found in minerals and oil products and distillates. You can find Polymer or synthetic, manufactured by man into various types of waxes. We get waxes from a variety of sources really. The Carnauba we discussed is a preferred wax by several detailers. Carnauba wax is over the leaves of the carnauba palm trees. The best Carnauba wax comes from in my opinion the Palm Trees associated with Brazil. You can tell a good carnauba wax by the pool beads up as you observe when you detail your car. Candelilla wax comes from your plant that grows in parts of Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala and sometimes in the southwestern United States. It is a brown wax and not only have people used it on cars it can be used in phonograph reports, floor dressings, and candle lights. Although it is the major portion of candle wax, it is mixed within with other waxes normally inside candles we use in our homes. . My websites:
