Rub 'n Buff - The Original Wax Metallic Finish

The Original Wax Metallic Finish

Transform everyday objects into luminous metallic treasures with fingertip ease

Carnauba wax and metallic powders combine to create a finish that sits somewhere between polish and paint. Rub 'n Buff transforms wood, plaster, ceramic, and previously painted surfaces with a lustrous metallic sheen that builds gradually as you work. Apply it with your finger or a soft cloth, controlling density through pressure and layering, light buffing creates subtle highlights, while heavier application delivers richer metallic coverage.

The wax-based formula adheres to clean surfaces without priming, making it particularly valuable for restoration work where you need to match existing patinas or enhance carved details without obscuring them. Picture frames gain depth when metallic tones settle into molding profiles. Stenciled patterns develop dimension as the finish catches light differently across textured surfaces. One half-ounce tube covers approximately twenty square feet, though actual coverage depends on application thickness and surface porosity.

This finish works across decorative techniques, antiquing furniture, embellishing crafts, or adding faux metallic accents to architectural details. The wax remains workable during application, allowing you to blend tones or remove excess before it sets. Once buffed, the surface develops the kind of sheen you'd expect from metallic leaf, but with the control and forgiveness of a paste medium.
