It is not recommended to use waxes not intended for use on finished wood, like those that are designed for shinning cars, to shine your cabinets. At the local hardware store, a selection of furniture waxes will be on offer. Many furniture waxes are sold in a liquid form. The liquid is applied with a paintbrush, along the grain, and when allowed to completely dry. Once dry, the wax is then buffered and the cabinets are shined. The process is time consuming and requires a delicate touch, but it is an inexpensive way to revitalize one’s cabinetry.
