Liberon lubricating wax. I should have a lubricating schedule but I don't. Every time I use this stuff it makes me think "why didn't I put that on earlier" especially the thicknesser.

Wurth white wax spray for me. I find it much cheaper than the above mentioned products

Do you have a link to this stuff? I did a search and I see similar stuff for 15-20 a can....seems pricey.

I use Metal Guard from Axi on all my cast iron surfaces Initially after a good degrease with diesel (by far the best and cheapest degreaser IMO) and then Liberon Wax. Once I've coated the machine beds with Metal Guard I apply about once a year there after when the machines are ready for a rewax. Hoping not to temp fate, but never as a consequence have I had rust problems. I use the same method on all my hand tools

I find applying Liberon last thing before shutting up for the night works best as it 'hardens' over night.

If I'm cutting any green wood / high moisture content I always reapply metal guard and wax before letting the stuff near my machines.

I just went to the local supermarket and found the first thing I could find that was non-Silicone.

Came out with "Wood Silk lavender wax". About £1.50

Can't beat the smell of mother-in-law in the workshop!
