Amaco RUB 'N Buff - European Gold, VWARNB08

Product Information

Since it’s a wax-based product, to give it a more durable finish, you can buff your finished item with a soft cloth. You can literally rub it onto a hard surface, and gently buff away the excess wax to create a shiny luster.

Makeup brush — Obviously you won’t be using it on your face again, so don’t use your favorite brush! There’s this stuff in a little tube that really could live up to the marketing hype of “miracle cream” but it’s not a face product. I have also used it outside our house on the stone name and it has lasted in the sun and rain no problems.

Rub 'n Buff 15ml Tubes Made from imported carnauba waxes, fine metallic powders, and select pigments, Rub 'n Buff® gives almost any surface a new look in minutes. Now that I’ve found the “winner” for color matching the faucets in our bathroom (European Gold this time) to use on our bathroom vanity and a couple of exposed shelving screws, we are one step closer to being finished with the bathroom renovation! Now that I’ve stumbled on your blog, I realize there are other colors that would have worked better. This step is only required if you want an aged/patina effect, but paint gives the Rub n Buff better adhesion and is a good idea for a slick surface. I was very curious as I had tried the black and it was very gritty and couldn’t get a smooth result.

Your brush must also be clean, dry, and dense enough with fine bristles (see my brush recommendation linked in the materials list at the top of the post). Rub onto clean, dry, or previously painted surfaces or on post-fired ceramics with a finger or soft cloth, then gently buff to a beautiful lustre.

European Gold Rub 'n Buff is a cool, light gold wax-metallic finish that is perfect for antiquing, stenciling and other craft projects.

This is a designer’s secret for an easy DIY to update the look of almost any solid surface without breaking the bank. I want to turn a reproduction Louis Philippe mirror into a more realistic looking antique and this helped me narrow it down. My local Michael’s had all three of the more common gold Rub N’ Buffs that I wanted to sample: Antique Gold, Gold Leaf, and Grecian Gold.

Never thought I’d be sitting at my office desk “trying on” Rub n Buff colors, but doing this little experiment was so helpful for me so I can reference all of the colors in the future, and I hope it helped you too. The first time I tried using a cotton ball and that didn’t work at all, so take my advice and use a good makeup brush!That being said, it is extremely durable and I’ve personally never had it wear off and I’ve used it for cabinet hardware.
