BNC Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 I've had a Corvette with a bubinga body (natural, no stains or poly) for a few months now. I give it a weekly rub-down with the bee's wax. I was wondering how long/if ever the wax builds up enough to give a more protective finish. I assumed it would build up like when waxing a hardwood floor, eventually becoming thick enough that it is less neccessary to polish as often. Can any more experienced Warwick owners help me out? thanks, BNC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebrownbass Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Don't think so. I my experience, it just gets dirty. Of course, mine is not bubinga, but flamed maple. It's pretty soft, and scars. I remember reading early on that one of the benefits of the Warwick natural finish was that you could sand it off and start over from time to time.

BNC Posted December 15, 2002 Author Share Posted December 15, 2002 Interesting.... Mine is not getting dirty (no time to play ). I do the wax weekly, and it takes care of dust and my fingerprints, adn basically returns the wood to the day I bought it (nothing to complain about there), I just thought it should be building a thicker coat by now (if it is actually suppose to do that).

alexclaber Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 My Warwick's pretty elderly (turns 16 next year)and I don't wax it anywhere near as often as I used to - in fact it must be at least a year since it's been done. Maybe as they age they become more stable and ingrained with wax. Or maybe their owners just become bad people...

Scoot Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 You may be wasting your wax. I think the Warwick manual only calls for once a month polishing. But, i doubt extra wouldn't hurt. Ah, nice marmot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
