I only use Goddard's Cabinet Maker's Wax on my fine furniture.  Used it for over 40 years, everything gets waxed once a year and it looks and protects beautifully.

I will not use the aerosol stuff the spray bottle stuff is best.  Needs a little buffing after the initial application.  I use one cloth to spread after the furniture is sprayed and another to buff. 

interesting testament.  I had a leak in my 2nd floor bathroom shower and it dripped on my pecan dining room table for the better part of a day or so.  The polish protected the table perfectly, but I had been applying it once a year for 40+ years - no noticeable build up either.
