So, I Was Waxing My Car The Other Day...

...with some Klasse Polish followed up by the Klasse Sealant and the finish was smooth and slick. Also, the stuff was supposed to create a protective seal against the elements.

I got to thinking... has anyone tried to wax their pistol? Does it work?

I'd rather practice dryfiring than work on buffing, but hey, whatever floats your boat. as for protecting the gun, heat build up and variety of solvents used will render most waxes useless in a short amount of time.

Just hardchrome it and forget it.

I zaino'd my blue sig mags. Never got a spec of rust on any of them.

Might could put some in your tumbling media.

I wax my mags regularly, works good.

Back on the old cave man days (flint axes and blue steel guns) we used to use auto wax on most of our hunting guns. It provides some what of a moisture barrier, doesn't gum up in low temps or collect dust / dirt and seemed to keep the rust to a minimum (expecially the actions and barrel where they were up against that wooden stock. Like I said, the Old, Old, Old, Old Days.

Nothing like getting the turtle wax out to get the ol' 06 ready for a trip up into the mountains or wherever.

Wax? Heck I don't even like cleaning them, I only clean because I can notice the slide slowing and the guns feel diffrent, normally this is a good indicator that they are about to stop so I am forced to clean. Hard chrome and that is that.
