Prevent Drying and Cracking: Use Howard Feed-N-Wax to prevent drying and cracking while preserving the wood finish. Feed-N-Wax is a special blend of beeswax, carnauba wax, and orange oil. It enhances the natural beauty and depth of grain in finished and unfinished wood, especially oak. Maintain the Natural Beauty: Use Feed-N-Wax every month or so to maintain the natural beauty of your wood finish. Polish all wood surfaces to a soft luster while leaving a protective coating of beeswax and carnauba wax. Tips: Feed-N-Wax works best when you leave it on for about twenty minutes before buffing off. It is an excellent follow-up to Restor-A-Finish.
