RMP Finishes Paste Wax – Premium Carnauba Formula for Wood & Tools

Elevate your woodworking and restoration projects with our professional-grade RMP Finishes Paste Wax, expertly formulated to replace and surpass the industry standards of yesteryear. Whether you are sealing a new masterpiece or reviving an antique, our paste wax for wood offers an exceptional blend of durability, ease of use, and a classic hand-rubbed luster.

For decades, woodworkers relied on Johnson’s Paste Wax for everything from furniture care to tool maintenance. With that product now discontinued, RMP Finishes has developed the superior successor. We have engineered this formula to provide the same trusted utility—lubricating table saws, protecting cast iron, and sealing timber—but with a modern, eco-conscious improvement: it is completely odorless.

Our unique blend is crafted mainly from high-grade carnauba wax mixed with highly refined, truly odorless solvents (mineral spirits). This ensures a hard, tack-free finish that doesn’t smell up your shop or home.

  • Available Colors: Clear (for invisible protection) and Brown (for creating patina and hiding nicks).
  • Available Sizes: 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, and 16 oz.

New Name, Same Formula

Formerly sold separately as Clear Carnauba Wax and Good O’l Brown Wax, we’ve combined these into one convenient listing and expanded our size range.

Two Versatile Variations

  • Clear: The perfect all-rounder. Use to add a high-gloss sheen to milk paint, seal raw wood, or as a paste wax for table saw tops and other machinery. It reduces friction, allowing wood to glide smoothly over cast iron surfaces while preventing rust.
  • Brown: Ideal for restoration. This variation imparts an “aged” look, instantly adding patina to new finishes or filling in minor scratches and defects on older furniture. It delivers a rich, warm glow that enhances the natural beauty of the grain.

Choosing the right wax finish shouldn’t be a guessing game. While Paste Wax offers unique benefits, it’s important to know how it stacks up against our other professional formulas. Click below to read our full comparison guide and find the perfect wax for your specific project.

We believe in using only the highest quality ingredients to ensure a finish that is safe for both you and your projects. RMP Finishes Paste Wax is formulated with a heavy concentration of Carnauba Wax—the hardest natural wax known and sourced from palm tree leaves. Unlike traditional products that fill the room with fumes, we use a highly refined, truly odorless mineral spirit solvent, making application pleasant and safe. Our Brown variation is further enhanced with natural iron oxide pigments to achieve a deep, warm patina.
