Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after application
Ensure you are applying a thin, even coat of wax. Buff vigorously with a clean cloth to even out the finish. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
Color is too dark or not the desired shade
Test the wax on a hidden area first. Consider using a lighter color or applying a thinner coat. You can also try mixing Briwax colors to achieve the right shade.
Wax is not drying properly
Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Apply a thin coat and allow sufficient drying time. Make sure the room is well-ventilated.
