Liberon Oil-free Steel wool
Steel Wool is the best applicator for applying Wax:
Without a doubt, Liberon oil-free steel wool is the best steel wool currently on the market used by restorers and woodworkers. Unlike other steel wool brands, Liberon treats the steel wool after manufacture to remove the oil used in the manufacturing process. Because the steel wool is virtually oil-free, it can be used without fear of contamination. Very long, top quality wire makes longer lasting and highly crumble resistant steel wool.
The 0000 grade steel wool is finest grade made. This is the stuff that first made Liberon's well-deserved international reputation. It's fabulous for rubbing out a shellac or varnish finish. Due to its consistent quality and excellent liquid retention it is great for evenly applying wax, strippers or cleaner.It's also good for polishing metals such as bronze, copper, chrome, etc. and for cleaning (with soapy water) porcelain, marble and glass. We use it for everything. The big advantage for using 0000 steel wool when applying waxes is that the wool itself doesn't absorb any wax and 0000 steel wool also helps rub out the finish at the same time.
Tip: Don't rip chunks of steel wool from a roll. That stresses the fibers and breaks them so they don't last as long. Use a scissors and cut off the required piece.
The 250 gram is a lot of steel wool and probably a good size for regular
usage.0000 grade is the finest and what is used for rubbing out
finishes, applying wax and polishes, cutting back
intermediate coats of French polish and lacquers, polishing metals and cleaning
metals and glass.
