Johnson Paste Wax is discontinued - Terry W - 05-16-2022
Just found out that Johnson Paste Wax was discontinued on 12/31/21. If you can find it, you might want to pick up a spare.
I thought I'd pick up a can, as mine is over 10 years old and starting to get a bit funky. I searched around and it's already out of stock at my local big box stores, the local Ace Hardware and at Amazon too.

I only have experience with the Johnson's product, but a web search indicates numerous similar products are on the market. I don't know their ingredients, but one should make sure there is no silicone in a product before buying. While I don't use very much, I'm sorry to see the Johnson's product go.
Thanks for the info.

Before you do that take a look at Lundmark. Much better than Johnson's and has been made in America for decades. It's the most amazing wax. Goes on easy, wipes off incredibly easy, and leaves a finish that doesn't easily smudge with fingerprints.
But I still see Johnson's as available at Amazon.

Thanks for the info on Lundmark.
Amazon shows Johnson ...but at over $27. It's normally less than $10.

Yep, as Terry said kind of pricey and not on Amazon Prime. I've had pretty good luck with Minwax at ~$10 and on Prime.

True, but Minwax is like Johnson's and Lundmark is in a different league. You have to try it to understand. At $27 to your door Lundmark is well worth the difference. Whether just waxing your machine tops or rubbing out a finish, Lundmark is nothing like Johnson's, et al.

I used paste wax on my cast iron to protect the iron and give a low-friction surface for the wood.
The Lundmark can advertises "anti-slip" -- is that a desirable property in this application?

last year i took john's advice and tried lundmark, and he's absolutely right - the stuff is light years better on machines than johnson's. it's a worthwhile upgrade.

I take it you didn't participate in "GI parties" where Johnson's paste wax, buffed to a gleaming, was the choice of all the inspectors?
