Rub ‘N Buff wax metallic finishes

Add shimmer to your projects

Rub ‘n Buff wax finishes are so cool! Formulated from Carnauba waxes, fine metallic powders, and select pigments for a finish no paint can duplicate. Rub onto clean, dry, or previously painted surfaces or on post-fired ceramics with a finger or soft cloth, then gently buff to a beautiful luster. More buff, more shine!

Spiff up all the light switch covers in your house. Make those drawer pull hardware pieces unique. Use it on your favorite hammer to make it look like gold, haha. Detail trim, make your screws and hardware shine, pots & pottery, light fixtures, and the list is endless. Works on metal, glass, plastic, wood, and all kinds of surfaces. Workable for a bit and can smudge and smear it before you buff n shine it. It sets up as it dries so it’s an easy fix and refresh on all kinds of things. Of course we love it to fix up or refresh old picture frames but it’s cool for so many more things.

They have discontinued many colors over the years but we stock all the colors available at both our stores. We may even have some stock left on discontinued colors… you never know what you will find here. Ask to see our color chart of color options.

Tips: A little bit goes a long way! You really don’t need much and the tube goes so far. Use a bristle brush to get it into grooves or blend it for a textured look. Sand or scuff up the surface - just lightly- if you’re having adhesion problems. Use thin coats and light layers. If you need a second coat, let the first one dry completely. I’m always too impatient and want another layer before it’s time, haha. Have fun & experiment with it in different ways.

Have you ever tried Rub ‘n Buff? What do you think of it? I have a list of things I want to try it on. I always forget about it and am constantly reminding myself of it again.
