I'm not sure about you, but I hate having to wax my table saw at the end of the day. To make this chore easier, I use a latex glove inside of an old athletic sock. Talk about making this chore easier!
I have used Meguiar's Tech paste wax for years and it does a great job on all of my tools. I use the round applicator pad found in most all auto parts stores and walmart stores. I have also used this wax on woodwork and have excellent results. I do buff everything by hand and have not found it to be difficult.
Er..that there sock still looks usable. I'd wear it. Wait I have One that looks just like it… Some folks can throw socks around like money to burn. Go figure.
greg-most automotive waxes contains silicone - if you plan to finish the wood after you cut it can have problems. silicone is the kiss of death when finishing. I tried to varnish something one time and the varnish was like the red sea parting. I'd brush it on and it parted and flowed away from where I was trying to put it. very weird indeed. later I heard about silicone . . . . my wife uses pledge by the gallon….. hopefully not on woodwork until AFTER its finished!
For what it's worth you can use G-96 gun spray(by Outers) on the work surfaces. No silicone. I usually use the Johnsons though.
