Is there a difference between this "polish" versus other "wax"? Or same? Can I use it on a new lacquer stained table to seal it from water stains?

This isn't really a polish so much as a conditioner. I would only use it on a surface where you want some of its moisture to sink into the wood to keep it supple and to resist stains\markings. Personally, I would recommend against a lacquered surface since the wax of it would simply leave a dull film on the surface vs sink in and do its work in the wood. Hope this helps.

Excellent! Just remember it's a polish and not a wax. It's for cleaning, not waxing.

If your furniture is sticky from the polish, you are using way too much polish...just a little dab will do ya! Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this particular polish if you don't want sticky, as I polished the heck out of the item I used it on and it was always sticky. I ended up sanding it off. If you want a very nice wax, get the Clapham's Wax. It's natural and buffs to a nice sheen.

I use this wax on top of Heirloom Traditions chalky paints and always put a coat of clear paste wax over it on wood items. I am no expert in paints or anything and just do trial and error on projects. You might even use a matte finish spray clear top coat on the wood and that should seal it if you are worried about transfer to clothing. I think Briwax has an online tutorial too you might want to view on their website. Hope this answers your question and if you have any other questions just let me know.

This is polish not wax.. It helps take out swirl marks and heavy water spots. I always do this first then I apply carnauba turtle wax after I finish polishing and make sure you remove the polish the same way you would wax a car. After your done polishing and then wax your car it will look like brand new.

This is a high pigmented furniture polish that will absorb in any porous surface, so if you put it on a table that is well warn it will leave a lot of the dark color, much like a stain. I put it on a dark stained wooden front door that weathers during the year. This polish will soak into the surface and make the door look much more presentable. It won't replace a stain but works well to revitalize a dark wood surface that shows some wear.

this is not a wax,,,just a sealer...I don't know that I would try it for any other application. It works well as intended. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

If the surface is clean and smooth it should work fine, it does take forever to cure though, like at least a few days. A spray poly or spray sealer (mod podge has one) might work better for your project. This is also a huge can, I've used it on 3 side tables using 3 coats each and it's still full.

From what I can tell ... there is a big difference between having Lacquer on your nails and regular nail polish. For regular nail polish, anything that I find at the grocery store works fine. I hope that is what you are trying to remove. If in fact it is Lacquer, I never did find anything that worked. I slowly chipped it off and as my nails grew I cut it off. I will never have Lacquer applied to my nails again. Hope this is helpful.

I can not give a definitive answer to your question. I used the product one time. Without going back to the package, if I recall correctly, the lacquer is in a capped bottle. So I would guess it would last as long as the bottle is kept closed. So it comes down to the quality of the container it is in. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I would agree with you on the shelf life of the waxes.

Not sure... The table's care instructions don't mention beeswax, although I can't imagine it would hurt. The wax definitely adds a minor layer of protection and helps enhance appearance. I would get some and apply to a spot on the underside of the table as a test to see if you like it

Friends used it on newly stained wooden counters and it looked great. I'm not sure if it depends on the type of stain -- and whether it interacts with the cream somehow? Maybe test it in a hidden area first, just to be sure?

Yes, I have tried this over normal lacquer polish. The only trick is that you must make sure that the Lacquer polish is completely dried before the Gelish Top It Off is applied. It does help the lacquer to chip less The Top It Off works on metallic lacquers best.

Even though it says "clear" the wax will be white if it isn't buffed out. I use this to seal my bronze & stone sculptures and the wax tends to collect in small crevices, making it hard to buff out. As bare wood is inherently full of open pores I would suggest an inconspicuous test first so your surface isn't ruined.

I cure my polish under a led light and it works great I also believe you can use uv to cure the polish it just takes a little longer under the light. I hope this helps..
