I've used the No-Buff Wax on a Stanwell 63 matte finish and it was very good indeed. Thinner than Paragon, it went on quickly and easily, adding instant depth to the beautiful grain of this pipe. I know it's called no buff, but I ran a microfiber cloth over it anyways...can't say that it improvedit any, as there really wasn't any excess blocking up the nomenclature. Incidently, this line of pipe care stuff was developed by Russ Ouellette. He doesn't do anything unless it's done right.
