Car Wax On Painted Furniture

Now that s not to say that automotive paint for furniture is the best option out there because it does have some drawbacks.

Car wax on painted furniture.

Some are pure beeswax others are pure carnauba. Because both chalk and milk painted furniture is porous in nature wax easily absorbs into the surface. It s handy in other ways too so grab a lint free cloth and get to work. But not furniture wax.

Paint wax is a sealer that keeps the elements out and also doesn t allow the paint to breathe so you could effect the durability of your paint job if you seal it up before the 30 90 day window. Run away from people like that. If the paint isn t fully hardened or cured you could see the paint scratch chip or peel more easily. When scratched it won t flake off in big chunks like poly because in essence it becomes part of the paint s finish.

Paste wax will make a wood piece shinier because it fills in digs and other crevices. Whether in paste or liquid form car wax is formulated to fill scratches and give a high shine to nonporous surfaces like glass and metal while protecting them from smudges and stains. They ll last a lot longer with the added protection of the wax which could save you a lot of money over time. Use darker wax on darker pieces which will help you polish it and hide any minor flaws.

Car paint on furniture is a great option if you re looking for an ultra high gloss coating that dries lightning fast and is as hard as nails. Ultimately the reason furniture wax is sold as the topcoat of choice for wax and milk paints is that unlike poly it will settle down into the porous paint finish and cure up over time. Because someone once told me it works great they had tried it and wax is wax. The best use for paste wax is to maintain and care for your furniture.

There are a lot of types of wax you can use. Rubbing car wax onto your bathroom and kitchen metal fixtures will help keep them shiny and help prevent water spots. Apply a coat of car wax to metal plastic or molded furniture to protect and add shine. When the wax hardens it seals the painted surface with a lovely natural looking soft sheen.
