That is wonderful.

As for beeswax polish we use "Wood Silk" a bees wax and oils polish in an
aerosol can. The modern convience of being avialable in the supermarket
and being easy to apply but doesn't have those horrible silicones or
require messing about with hot wax and turps. Wood really does come up
well with it.

We do have a can of Mr Sheen, it's used to lubricate curtain tracks or
poles nothing else and most definately not "polishing". It's terrible
stuff, if repeatedly used it builds up to an uneven hard misty layer.

get silicone spray instead. Its the cats pyjamas for plastic-on-plastic
bearings.
