Common issues with wax coatings
The use of wax coatings is a common procedure used to improve the sheen of natural stone.
Unfortunately this process requires ongoing maintenance and is a quick fix to a long term issue

natural stone we at Marble & Stone Restoration don't use or recommend wax coatings. Wax
coatings are usually softer than natural stone and tend to wear and scratch a lot easier than a
