Waxing Some Pipes, My First Time

[iamn8]

For whatever reason, the thought of waxing my pipes made me nervous. After all of the prerequisite reading and yes, I understand it comes off quickly and I understand potential pitfalls, but damn they look nice and feel good! For pipes I rarely smoke, the waxed look works in my display case. And so I bought carnuba Guitar wax from Amazon and sat and waxed. The look seriously nice! Cleaning and waxing a car is a good thing even knowing it'll just get dirty again. So it is with waxing a pipe properly.

Looking good Nate. Is that a wipe on/off application?

 

[cortezattic]

Oh, I like those pipes -- with or without the shiny finish. :clap:

 

[iamn8]

Yup... Wax on... wax off...wax on... Wax off.... Wax on... Wax off. . It comes with an applicator sponge and use a paper towel to off. Really good wax!!

Looks great!

Good job, Nate. It reminds me I need to do some of mine. Those are some great looking pipes.

I cannot speak highly enough of the good ol' Dunhill pipe wipe. There's nothing wrong with your process Nate, the wipe is just an alternative method of waxing and polishing.

Yeah Pat I keep meaning to order some of those, another tool in the box is always a good thing.
Cosmic, do they carry those Dunhill wipes at Briary?
Thanks guys! Shines pipes=Happy Smoker!

Cosmic, do they carry those Dunhill wipes at Briary?

Unfortunately, no. We should start asking him to carry some everytime we see him. Maybe we can get him to get some in.

Seems like something many would buy. I'll call and ask and then we'll bring it up in person.
