Decatur Tobacco Pipe Accessory-Pipe Shield No Buff Wax

My old go to briar wipe ran out after 5 years or so and I couldn't find it anymore. Gave Decatur pipe wax a try on some old family pipes that had been sitting in an attic. Cleaned up and shining like new! Easy and quick to use too.

Apply as needed to smooth briar pipe surfaces (avoid on sandblasted and carved pipes), allow to dry, then rub with a microfiber cloth or even a clean cloth diaper, followed by a pipe polishing cloth or chamois and you will get a suitable shiny pipe surface back. It won’t be as shiny as a carnauba wax application with a buffing wheel, but it comes close enough.

It adds a nice shine to dry looking briar. When I received it, I felt like it was too expensive because it’s such a tiny jar. However, after using it on a couple pipes, I’ve realized this stuff will probably last me many, many years. You don’t need to use much at a time. It is the consistency of chapstick or beard wax. I massaged some onto the briar with my fingers and let it sit for 10 minutes and wiped it with a towel and it looked great. If you’re restoring an old pipe, I’d recommend sanding with micro mesh pads from about 3000-12,000 grit and then finishing with this wax. This gave me the best results by far. Takes some elbow grease, but my pipes look brand new and didn’t have to spend a bunch of money on tools.

I used this for the first time yesterday. I was impressed at how well it brought out a lustrous shine and made the briar come alive. I should have taken a before and after picture. I just followed the instructions on the can. I used it on about 50 pipes and still have at least 2/3 of a jar left.

Very good quality product, delivered quickly!

Gives the pipes a nice satin shine.

A great, easy way to bring some lustre back to a well-loved pipe! Just wipe it on, let it sit 10 minutes, wipe it off ang your set! Don't expect the sheen of a fresh coat of varnish, but it will add a nice, pleasant glow to your bowl.

Been using it for a couple months and it brings back the shine very nicely love the finish makes and pretty resistant to finger prints as well
