I was with you to Carnauba wax, what the hell ??? And, this is nonsense, sorry. you don't need to do any of that stuff. Just clean and lube your weapon every couple weeks and you won't have any issues. Use gun grease, not oil for your lubricant. Use lots of it. Your shit will run like butter and you will never see rust.
Carnauba wax is for the wood grips. OP is carrying a revolver.
AHHHH,,,, lol, hahahaha, Okay, now that makes sense. I was just like fucked up on that one!! Thank you!
Revolver is correct, but houge grips, that do not get waxed, I use this on the metal that makes contact with holster and clothing: Renaissance Wax Rust Preventative and Gun Stock Polish (midwayusa.com)
I'd say grease the guns you're not using regularly and are sitting in the locker, but carry guns that are exposed to elements should be taken apart and oiled once per week and thoroughly cleaned after each goodification.
I clean and oil my guns, then I put a thick layer of grease on all the points where the slide and frame make any contact. Rack the slide a few times and wipe off any grease that comes out. My guns run like butter.
I use it on the parts that touch my clothing, it does not leave an oily mark, so I wax the outer parts instead to protect them from moisture.
I can see using it on the grips, but not on any metal parts. However, I have checked around on the net and see there are waxes for metal now, I've never heard of that.
