Have i found a subject that no one has an opinion, input, or advice on ????      "Renaissance wax"

Renaissance Wax isn't a finish for wood. It is a good thing to put on ivory after it has been machined.

My bad  I guess, I need more detail. I use CA finish and I am using Renaissance wax to buff them out and I'm wondering if I heat the wax up
to make it soft would this effect the out come for the better or worse??

The only Renaissance wax I have ever seen is a paste, I see no need to soften it up.  It is a combination of wax and some sort of "thinner" to make it a paste, if you heat it there is a chance you might have a separation of their "secret" formula.

I use it all the time on my wood turnings at home, and you do NOT want to heat it up. I just lightly buff it, and try to keep the heat from that to a min.

Maybe I'm trying to use too much , it keeps caking up on me  I'm doing something wrong

I see no benefit to using any sort of wax in the process of buffing CA.  CA can best be polished using abrasive rouge...I start with tripoli and then use white diamond.

I use it on all my CA'd turnings, pens, calls etc. After the final buffing/polishing I take my finger and wipe on a little dab of RWx while it spinning slowly then before it dries I take a clean cloth and buff it to a shine. I've found that this helps with fingerprints, dirt grime etc

I am with you on he waxing, I use wax on all of my finishes, from BLO to Spar, from CA to poly.  The type of finish dictates the wax, and I recommend that people clean and wax their calls every so often.  I think Kiwi neutral shoe wax is the best for calls, especially with finishes like spar and oil finishes.  Easy to apply and buff to a shine and available every where shoe polish is sold, a can will last a lifetime, and a few years thereafter.

I got a new can in I guess I forgot how it was new
mine was old and I guess dried out  so now
I see how stupid my question was.
