* I have used Renaissance Museum Wax (mostly beeswax) at show-and-tell events where lots of fingerprints will left on helmets and shields. It goes on after a good cleaning and polishing.
I think I may have experimented with beeswax as a waterproofing on helmets fleetingly, but settled for Boiled Linseed oil liberally coated with a brush and left to dry, it goes quite firm and resiliant after a few days in a warm place...
I remember one event in Wales which convinced me of the resilience of both the Welsh in the wet and Linseed oil waterproofing...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
