Wax Your Kitchen Cabinets!

[Emile]

Hey guys,

I was watching HGTV (Home & Garden TV) the other day and on some show they were working on this woman's kitchen. I forgot what show it was because I usually leave that channel on while browsing the web (don't judge me, I build residential homes for a living), and they broke out some car wax on the kitchen cabinets!!

Naturally, this caught my attention. The host of the show said that using car wax on dull/faded kitchen cabinets will recondition them, give them a nice shine, and bring them back to life. They didn't show what wax they were using but they were applying it to wood kitchen cabinets - no clue how car wax would bond to wood but that's what they did.

Anyways, I'm not advising to break out the Souveran and start applying it to everything in your kitchen; just something I thought was very interesting and wanted to share with you all.

Thanks,
Emile

Wonder if you use a PC or a Rotary LOL Now there is going to be a fight on here what machine to use

We have maple cabinets in our house and wipe down using ONR followed by Optimum car wax. Spray wax is so easy to use and wow do they shine.

No machines used just a little arm action.

I think the PC, though I have never owned or used one, would be best.
Another piece of weight added to the scales for "Reasons to buy a PC".










Must... resist... the urge to buy one

I would also follow up with a great sealant too....WolfGang DGPS 3.0 and let that cure while your cooking.......he, he

I have seen this before, Meguiars use to have a Lemon Oil for wood furniture but has been discontinued. I use Flitz on my counter tops, leaves a nice shine.

How would wax work on painted wood cabinets?

hmm good thought. i already waxed my monitor (dodo rainforest rub) and my clothes washer (rboe) and the kitchenaid stand mixer (p21s 100%) perhaps some fuzion on the cabinets then?

I will tell you a coat of Glass Science on your shower doors and glass sliders makes a huge difference too.
