He rejected them all and investigated the new so-called 'fossil' or microcrystalline waxes being refined out of crude oil. With their distinct characteristics depending on their geographical origins, the new 'man-made' waxes could be accurately blended to meet the needs of many industries, from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to heavy engineering. Thus, the waxes combined Nature's best qualities with the advantages of modern technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe blend which emerged from that research was 'designed' for long-term protection of all classes of museum exhibits. At last museum technicians and others caring for important collections could use wax polish that neither caused future conservation problems nor detracted from the intrinsic values of their treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial production and distribution of the polish was ultimately undertaken in 1968 by the London-based company Picreator Enterprises Ltd. under its trade name 'Renaissance'. The product was quickly accepted in the international museum world and has become a universally respected standard conservation material - probably the most widely specified - because of its almost unlimited uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBefore waxing any metal it is important to ensure that the surface is clean so that tarnish does not spread beneath the wax. Our \u003cstrong\u003eVulpex\u003c\/strong\u003e technical liquid soap, which can be diluted in water or white spirit (for non-aqueous cleaning), cleans and de-greases all metals with 100% efficiency, leaving nothing potentially harmful behind. Where there is tarnish or light corrosion, our \u003cstrong\u003ePre-lim\u003c\/strong\u003e paste gently burnishes to a bright, scratch-free shine, ready for permanent protection by Renaissance wax. \u003cbr\u003eAll three products are used by professional restorers of arms and armour of historic importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhile museum exhibits are rarely handled, brass band instruments - by the very nature of their design and purpose - are far more vulnerable to surface degradation. For the relatively modest cost of our cleaners and wax polish, owners can greatly extend the service life of their instruments - and ensure the utmost visual beauty of the metal. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Picreator Enterprises","offers":[{"title":"65ml","offer_id":48015460303163,"sku":"20165","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200ml","offer_id":48015460237627,"sku":"20100","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Liter","offer_id":48015460270395,"sku":"20105","price":355.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/7539\/6411\/files\/renaissancewaxmicrocrystallinewaxpolishtins.webp?v=1714234183","url":"https:\/\/maacaffestore.com\/products\/renaissance-wax","provider":"The Compleat Sculptor, Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
