I can hear it now, why do the brownies taste funny.

Don't ya mean "why do I feel funny"?

+ one for Renaissance Wax!! Finish line Bicycle chain dry wax for pellets and bore.

Never tried Ren Wax. But I have tried both Meguire's Gold Class Carnuba Plus in air rifle bores and Finish Line Dry Lube (teflon) on pellets and the bore. My personal experience give me a cleaner bore with the Finish Line

Anyone try carnauba wax ?

Yes, I use pure Carnauba wax. Trewax for wooden flooring. Some of the car waxes have other stuff in them, like cleaners or super fine grit, so I don't use them.

The product is described as a ceramic *polish*. Sounds a little like putting sand down your barrel.

I'm going to clean my Apperation this week and do the wax-job on it and pound down a few hundred Armscor 36gr hp then do the same with my Maverick (supersonic) and see what effect they have from first cold shot progressing out.

Birchwood Casey gunstock wax. Use it all over all guns and inside the barrel on air rifles.

Has anyone tried beeswax?

I was thinking to melt some onto a patch and trying it.

Has anyone already tried this?

There is a beeswax aerosol furniture product you might try out.

It works but the effect is short lived compared to carnuba wax.

Do you use just carnauba & turpentine and nothing else, and in what proportions by weight? Is it turpentine thinner or white spirit or pure turpentine?

No, I don't use any turpentine. You can find many high solids carnuba waxes in the retail market.

Trewax paste wax ingredient label they use petroleum solvents instead of turpentine
everything is premixed and ready to apply ,,, easy peasy

The way I read this is "white spirit, carnauba, paraffin and some other waxes". So that could be a relatively low carnauba proportion. Do we need all those other waxes, if aiming for high/highest carnauba content, other than maybe for ease of application? I have looked and it's relatively cheap to just mix pure carnauba with turpentine/white spirit.

For me it would be easiest to get this: https://bormawachs.com/dettaglio_new.php?idprod=3420XX&cat1=2&lang=2
(but it says "beeswax and carnauba")
