So its like surf wax, i kindve get it lol, might give it a go. Where is bees wax sold?

Yep that's a-la Mr Zoggs

Sand papers have different no's here so I use a Zero for final finishing and No 0.5 for course work. I think any thing other then a Zero would scratch though 0  helps in removing scratch marks. I am looking for bee's wax these days as I plan on refurbing a couple of bats. If i am succesful, i will post pictures soon.

My mum uses bee's wax to shine her Jarrah kitchen. I put it on my bat post season and it looks new.

I think she gets it at Bunnings.

I have heard never to put wax on your bat, as this stops any linseed oil you put on the bat penetrating the fibres. Oiling you bat at least twice a year, as you should, would then be a pointless exercise.

[SAF Bats]

You heard wrong the compounds and or bees wax used provide a protect layer but allow linseed oil through

look around you can get big wheels for bats

i recently picked up a extremly fine grade sandpaper from 3M (available at Homebase). It has done wonders. Could not see any scratch marks after i used it. The trick is to sand with very soft hands.

I then used some sort of a wood buffing thing (again from 3M).It like a small pad.

600 grade wet n dry for finish works for me.

I use Klingspor PL 31 320 to 420 grit finishing paper also find wet and dry dirtys the bat gets into the grains and then is hard to remove

Your using the wrong wet n dry if that's happening.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tip.

I might have just got lucky with the brand i got. I thought the dark abrasive would get into the bat. but it just didn't rub off
and gave me a lovely finish. Got mine from wicks dirt cheap. Obviously I didn't wet it

[WalkingWicket37]

Being a tool I get my sandpapers and whatnot from Toolstation. They do 400 grit wet 'n' dry that gives the bat a lovely finish and the abrasive doesn't come off or mark the wood at all.
For how nice 400 get the surface I bet you can see reflections in the face of you go up to 600 grit
