Nearly every wax will shine up nicely if polished with a paper towel under cold running water.

I polish them with a wet tissue and some detergent

Cotton ball and dawn dish detergent, or go old school and use pantyhose.

I prefer to use small pieces of foam from tooth supply boxes cut into squares mounted on a
mandrel. Also use this for my wax ups.

I add soapy water to the mix works nice too and less worry about overheating.

e a buffer for the handpiece with some soft foam....Works very well....In fact I do a lot with the handpiece during finishing...Using those scotchbrite pads for gross removal and contouring wax and the buffing wheel makes for a nice finish....I will be doing some pumicing with the handpiece(old one) and a small ragwheel on a mandrel....behind the glass of course.

Using just packing foam in a mandrel works awesome, thanks TomZ

Light pressure. You're just buffing the wax.

I scrub lightly with bristle brush and soapy water before I use the bench lathe foam. The wax needs to be slightly damp to work and not smear wax.
