Wax coming out my ears...

I’d wax it all and buff it up. Alistair

Wax is nothing more than a seal coat that dries clear. Isn’t that what your poly is?

I don’t think waxing it will afford you much additional protection, if that’s what you’re after. I like wax because I don’t like poly. I’m usually looking for just a hint of additional protection over built shellac and I just like the “feel” of a waxed surface. I like the smell and subtle shine, too. I end up waxing almost everything because it’s part of my ritual of the finishing being TOTALLY DONE (I don’t like finishing). If you like the way it looks now, I wouldn’t tinker with tinted waxes. A high quality clear wax is fun to apply and it’s not like you’re really doing anything permanent.

Wax won’t give you any extra protection over the poly, but it will still give you that nice wax “feel” Al is talking about.

Smells good, too. Carnuba especially. :-)
