Types of Car Wax
Most car wax varieties fall into one of three categories: paste, liquid or spray. Each type has its pros and cons, and the waxing process is slightly different depending on which kind you choose.
Paste Wax
Paste waxes will produce the best shine, last the longest after application, and are harder to waste than liquid or spray waxes, so it’ll be a while before you run out. However, the waxing process will take longer using paste than if you choose one of the other two types as it’s harder to apply, so some patience will be necessary.
Liquid Wax
Liquid wax is easier to use than paste, and if you find a trusted brand, it can last longer after application than it would otherwise. Just make sure you don’t use too much and leave behind large amounts of residue. Excessive residue can make buffing the wax off at the end notably harder.
Spray Wax
Once you’ve weighed your options and chosen your wax, you’re ready to start!
How to Apply Cutting Board Oil and Board Cream
Once your cutting board is thoroughly dry, apply the oil directly onto the surface of the board. Be generous with the application, especially if the wood is dry or you just purchased the cutting board or butcher block. You want the surface to be dripping wet on all sides and we recommend using a small bar towel or new paint brush to spread the oil (try not to soak up the oil), as using your hands may lead to accidental splinters. Most importantly, let the oil soak into the cutting board for as long as possible, at least a few hours or overnight if possible.
To apply board cream, wait until the board is dry after washing or oiling, then apply a small amount of cream onto the board. Using a soft cloth, buff the cream/wax into the wood in a circular pattern, forming a thin coat. Repeat over the entire surface of the board and especially the sides. It's not necessary to let the wax soak into the board.
We recommended you oil your cutting board every month or when dry to the touch. Board cream should be applied at the same time as oiling.
