A Renwax No-No - 10/11/2006 12:30 AM
Ok,
So I definitely love the Renwax. Very useful indeed. But, avoid using it on sake cups/bottles. I had applied some to an Imperial sake cup and noticed what looked like some of the painted designs/Kanji became faded. As I wasn't sure if it was all in my mind, I tried to Renwax a sake bootle. Low and behold, it indeed removed some of the Hinomarus paint. Don't know why, but I suspect it has to do with the fact that the Renwax is a petro based product.
Just an FYI I learned from experience. Otherwise, it's a great product
