I use paste wax everywhere on guns, especially when they are going to see saltwater use. Metal and wood get a heavy application. If it is below grade and unseen it gets wiped, but not buffed particularly. Topside gets polished.

Repeat as often as you like. With wax the polishing removes all but the thinnest layer... Adding more really does not add more, just redistributes it.
