It has gone on to become one of the most popular conservation wax polishes and is widely used in museums, art galleries and stately homes. It has a micro crystalline structure much finer than totally natural waxes, a quality that is highly efficient for moisture resistance. When applied thinly and rubbed out to a full lustre, the wax film is glass clear, and it remains clear, with no discolouration of the wax or the underlying surface\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kernowcraft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52904441250139,"sku":"C177-2346","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/2112\/3163\/files\/10002_c36efb52-fa3c-4964-ac65-3ad90712cb95.jpg?v=1779368461"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.kernowcraft.com\/collections\/cleaning-tarnish-prevention.oembed","provider":"Kernowcraft Rocks \u0026 Gems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
