Wax Your Appliances!!

[murando531]

Today I was cleaning the kitchen, and after I was done I took a second to notice that even after wiping all the appliances down with a clean wet cloth after using a cleaner, then polishing with a microfiber cloth, they just didn't shine as much as I'd like. Then it hit me -- what if I use a little car wax on them? I have some quick spray stuff that is actually more trouble than a normal squirt bottle on the cars, but works well if you work one small spot at a time. The appliances have just such small areas, so it was perfect! I buffed them clean and they shine like new money! Our black Samsung side-by-side fridge looks like a showroom model, and the Whirlpool dishwasher went from looking like a new machine already to looking like it was just taken out of the box for the first time!

I'm probably late to the game here, but I had never heard of or thought of it before. Seriously, it will make them glossier than a still pond and they'll be a smooth as velvet to the touch. And I'm sure that dust and grime won't stick as well too.

Not sure why the pictures seem blurry on the computer yet sharper on the phone. Oh well, phone cameras.

Wished you could still get Jubilee spray

I used that for years on everything, including vehicles, and it worked wonders so easily. Why Johnson Wax discontinued it is beyond me.

Jubilee:

Has been picked up by another company and is back in production. A little Googling will let you know where to find some.

Waxing appliances not only makes them attractive, it prevents rust. Highly recommended.

I recently ran across a recommendation for Collinite No. 845 Insulator Wax on automobiles.  It works nicely on stainless steel so ought to be good on painted appliance finishes.

Jubilee:

Is now made by the Malco company and is available at Amazon and the Vermont Country Store for openers. Greg

I have some of the Jubilee wax from Malco.  That stuff is fantastic and it smells nice.  It also works on practically everything.  I regularly wax our appliances, counters, and cabinets and have found that it also repels dust.  It's also safe for things like our ceramic and glass lamps.  I love the stuff and it goes a long way.

I loved Jubilee SPRAY wax in the can, not the liquid that all these sites are selling.

I didn't even realize that you can see the spray bottle of the wax I used in the third picture. It's Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax. It went on smoothly and left behind a beautiful sheen and now everything is so smooth to the touch. It actually had a pleasant smell too. I'll have to try some of the others you guys listed.

I love the Meguiar's products, they work very well.

I love to have the appliances waxed and detailed-clean, but when you have 30+ the job gets to look pretty daunting.

Fuller Brush Co. still makes their Appliance Cleaner and Wax.

Do you think that Meguier's spray, can simply buff off, can work as good as old Jubilee in the spray can? If so I'll get some.
