I am looking for a wax for my copper fence post covers - outdoors. Will this work? If so, how often should you re-apply?

Hi Gary, I think Renaissance was would not be a good choice for an outside application. However I would apply a coat of clear polyurathane to the copper fence post covers.

Not all that bad - you just really need to apply outdoors - dissipates rather quickly but again the key here is to apply when outside. Does not leave a lasting odor but will have a smell for maybe 3-4 hours after applying. After that no smell, product works great!

I used the sun joe on cedar fence and was able to remove the dark patina and mold and mildew stains and made the fence look new. Used the medium narrow tip. Takes some time but works well. The only way to improve on the performance is to go with a gas powered unit.

No, it won't last long. Use collinite insulator wax. It's a type of polymer that last.

Longevity isn't its strong suit. I have used one other much cheaper wax that has lasted longer. But its superior wet shine, ease of application and its resistance to staining plastics and rubbers make it better. I live in New England. The summers are hot, and the last couple winters have been very harsh. The wax experiences a wide range of environments so I would put the 3 month period that I experienced at the low end of what it should last.

I used it on some interior detailed brass statues They look great, and I expect the Brass Lacquer will preserve there brilliance for many years. I have a Copula on top of my Garage with a copper roof an a copper flying Goose weather vein on top. I haven't properly lacquered the roof yet but I did bring in the Goose & cleaned it very good & applied 2 coats of the Lacquer in October 2013 an it still looks great. It was the first time I had even thought about a protective coating to show off the copper finish. It seems a shame people purchase cooper or brass decorative outside attachments for their homes, as myself, and feel it the norm to let them fade to Patina (oxidation). When you can coat it and keep the cooper or brass luster you bought it for. I can't wait to Lacquer the Cupola roof. Longevity is a question an abuse from the elements, but for as good as it looks, it seems worth putting on the Spring Clean-up list. Hope this helps. Ya can't loose by trying. A proper cleaning & prep is the key before applying.

I personally put a layer of this down then after buffing it off a layer of high quality natural wax. The natural wax will wear off in about a month then you have a good 3-6 moths of additional coverage from the 3m.

I personally would only use it over a "real wax" but if you are diligent, you could use it by itself. I would not use it on glass (use rain-x)

In my experience, the product needs exposure to water over time to work effectively. I have sprayed a garden hose on areas that weree under cover with success, although this should be repeated several times over a period of weeks. Product works slowly but effectively.

Our cars are garaged and don't spend much time outside. Based on this the wax has held up perfectly & still beading after about 2.5 months. I would expect in real-world, Florida summer sunshine conditions you would have to re-wax at least once every two months. Car gets washed every two weeks.

Yes, this stuff is awesome! It lasts a long time, so you don't have to keep re-waxing every 3 months. For me, it lasts about a legitimate year on my car, and about six months on my motorcycle. Before you put this on, clean the chrome with some kind of metal cleaner polish, then apply this as a second protective coat. I'm not too sure how long this will last on those parts though, since they are very hot. Hope this helps

I purchased this product to use on my copper dining room table legs and it worked great. I had a few issues with getting the wax out of tight crevasses, but overall it did a great job. I hope this will assist.

I use it on the outside of a screened-in porch. I use duck tape - when the winter is over, I just pull off and throw away. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure. I have a paver patio with the same problem. I'm going to use this product on it as soon as the snow melts. So I won't know until.then; but my guess is it will

My favorite spray is Liquid Fence, but it does smell badly for several hours. Deer Out seems to be working well so far for the last two years and although I have never used it on the lawn I would think it would be effective.

Monika I would apply in a shady area or on a cloudy day. Direct sun is not good since it is a paste. Temperatures of at least 60 degrees or more works best. Apply wax to the pad which is provide , apply small amount in sections. It is best to a section at time, such as fenders, hood, etc and remove after words a section at time. Remove with a good micro fiber cloth, this gives best results. It is a good wax and it is a wax that should last months for you. Hope this helps you.

I think this would be perfect. I use it on ceramic statues. It does not have a strong smell, so I assume the solvents are pretty tame (and I use solvents in my artwork so I am pretty sensitive to them). This stuff is exactly what I would use if I had some fine woodwork to wax, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it on copper. All right, I was going to say try it on a hidden portion, but you don't have it yet, right? LOL. It's good stuff, as good as any they are thinking of, so I think it's fine.
