RMP Finishes Furniture Wax – Premium Smell Free Furniture Finishing Wax

Refinish furniture in beauty and style by using Furniture Wax by RMP Finishes. Designed for sealing Real Milk Paint covered surfaces, our completely oil-free furniture finishing wax formulation includes mostly beeswax with just a bit of carnauba wax for a highly protective finish that doesn’t have a harsh solvent smell. This furniture finishing and refinishing essential keeps the color of painted surfaces true over time and dries hard to a matte sheen, but it has a long working time so you have an ample window in which to finish your projects.

Enhance projects with our furniture finishing wax colors to create unique handmade or upcycled pieces. Besides a standard clear coat formulation, our finishing wax comes in clear, ebony, dark brown, gray, and white to cover the basic shades, and you can mix these colors with each other and even experiment with adding pigments when you need a custom hue for your next big project. For added versatility, our clear coat option doesn’t turn white in deep crevices, ensuring carved pieces retain their beauty and shine with just a little elbow grease.

Rely on our wax to protect surfaces painted with Real Milk Paint®, chalk or acrylic paint from a variety of everyday hazards. This furniture wax creates a barrier between your furniture and the elements, boosting protection against scratches, stains, and water, and in the process, it also provides a soft, lustrous shine that helps your pieces look their best. The colored formulations have the added benefit of aiding you in concealing previous damage for a simple way to shine up timeworn pieces you’re not ready to refinish quite yet. Alternatively, use the colored soft waxes to highlight details or add depth and character to the aesthetic of the piece.

Put our furniture finishing wax to work in the standard way, polish up furnishings that need a bit of shine, or use our formulations in uniquely artistic ways. For instance, our wax works well on distressing projects when you need a resist medium. Simply add the finishing wax to the surface you’re covering with Real Milk Paint® before you brush on the paint and the section you painted over lets the waxed portion show through. Our darker hues also work well for adding a hint of age and patina to newer or refinished pieces.

Utilize the matte sheen-inducing power of our Furniture Wax quickly and effectively to polish up previously waxed pieces or refinish freshly painted surfaces. No matter the project you have in mind, Furniture Wax by RMP Finishes goes on smoothly and wipes off effortlessly for frustration-free furniture refinishing experience.

  1. Clean the surface thoroughly to remove any dust and debris.
  2. Grab a brush or rag and apply Furniture Wax onto the surface.
  3. Work the medium into corners to ensure an even coat.
  4. Buff off the excess wax with a clean cloth.
  5. To remove Furniture Wax, wipe the surface with Citrus Solvent or Odorless Mineral Spirits.
  6. BONUS: If you’re adding the colored waxes to your piece, we recommend applying a layer of the clear wax first, then applying the tinted version. This allows for easier application, adjustment, removal of the colored wax if needed.

To help you plan your project, understanding the coverage of Furniture Wax (formerly Soft Wax) is essential for achieving a consistent, protective finish. Our natural beeswax formula is highly efficient, requiring only a thin layer to seal and protect your surfaces.
