And I LOVE my Beall system! I barely use the wax any more. I just buff a hardened oil finish or a lacquer finish and it comes out gorgeous."
"Do you still use the wax buff to do your buffing just w/o the wax? Or do you use tripoli and/or white diamond?

Jim,
I use General Finish's Salad Bowl Finish. It cures hard and gives very nice finishes.
With oil I let the finish curing for several days. With lacquer, a day is sufficient. I just use the tripoli and then the white diamond wheel, both are lightly dressed with buffing compound. I don't use the wax wheel at all.
Occasionally I'll get some white residue in an occlusion, but a Q-tip takes it right out.
I'm not fan of wax finishes as everything I do is meant to be touched, loved, handled, served from, and actively enjoyed. Wax is pretty but is a little too fragile for my taste.
Hope this helps.
