What Pinball Wax to buy in Canada?

[CJBob]

So I've read the long thread on pinside here on how to clean and wax a playfield (all 11 pages):

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/cleaning-and-waxing-pinball-machines-vids-guide

So I'll try not to rehash any of the questions other than I'm looking to buy carnauba wax as pure as possible and I'm not sure if this qualifies? If not where else /what else should I get?

Thanks.

You don't want anything with "cleaner" in the title of it. It should just be wax. I think Mother's sells a liquid form without the cleaner bit, but as it's liquid I'm sure you lose something.

Eshine.com. Chemical guys xxx wax

That's what I use as well. I got mine from amazon:

100% carnuba

100% carnuba

No such animal. Carnauba is harder than concrete in its natural form. Anything claiming to be 100% would be a solid brick. The wax gets dissolved in solvents. Lucky for wax manufacturers, they don't require FDA approval and can claim what they like.

I've also been using and recommending the XXX Hardcore paste wax for years. It has a good amount of carnauba and protective synthetic additives. It's very long lasting too.

If I ever couldn't find XXX I'd probably switch to Collinite Fleet Wax. Also very good!

Thanks guys, I knew what not to get, just couldn't find anything to get. I'll order that stuff.

I thought you were using this stuff all along because you could buy it in bulk?

Nice stuff but mail order and usually only from US sites AFAIK.
That may have changed though
