have soapstone counters in two kitchens of 2 homes.Didn't put 'em there. Too expensive to replace them.Definitely a love/hate thing.Chips easily, surface spray cleaners and soaps strip the surface finish.It aint maintenance free like quartz...This was the 3rd product I tried to maintain the finish - 1 other wax and generic mineral oil.This will be my go-to.Applies easily and uniformly. There's a learning curve re-amount to apply - but overall the best choice for me.

I bought a beautiful multi wood cutting board at a farmers market. The man who makes the boards says this is the product to use to keep it moistened. I live in a very warm dry climate. Great product, I'm on can #2.

Daddy Van's is the only wax I use on my butcher block counters, cutting boards, and furniture. I use both- unscented and orange scented. My butcher block counters are protected from stains and liquids with Daddy Van's unscented wax. My wood furniture is protected and shiny with Daddy Van's orange wax. No chemicals in either, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Daddy Van's wax. Easy to use too.

I love the way my soapstone counters look with this product and leaves them looking nice longer than other products I’ve tried.

I started using Daddy Vans Hemp oil on my 100 year old wood tongue and groove floors. floors are original and want to keep them original. This oil is perfect. Restores deep and light wood, oil soaks in to protect where finish is worn, and especially bare wood. To even wood tone with water or a stains, depending on floor tone I use tannins from tea bag or coffee grounds to restore then, then oil it to hold color. I know My cat is safe and floors can be done in the winter when the heat is on and windows closed, no toxic order. Daddy Van furniture tub extends the beautiful wood and seal wood furniture better than anything I’ve before. I have used also to treat hand sewing thread in hand quilting projects, works well, a little goes a LONG way. I melt in my palm like hand cream and run the thread thru, non staining too.

This wax looks nice when you first apply to concrete counter top but as soon as you put a cup or water on counter it leaves a ring mark or droplet marks

It is easy to apply. I will add further comments once we start using the concrete dining table and see if it is sticky.

Not impressed. I've used various types of beeswax/mineral oil on soapstone in two kitchens over the past 10 years. This formulation is my least favorite. They state ingredients are unrefined beeswax, olive oil, and carnuba wax. Honestly, there is barely any hint of a beeswax smell, and consistency. To me, it smells like vaseline petroleum jelly, although it's apparently not really in there. This formulation is very greasy, unlike the feel of pure mineral oil or other beeswax formulations. On the positive side, it is so slick that applying it is easier than other brands, but on the negative, I don't get the wonderful payback of scented and conditioned hands that come from using the others. I don't feel like the coating will be as substantial as the others, because it seems to have much less wax.Will not buy again.

Update- I've used this on so many different things, it worked great on my concrete counters, I also refinished an old wooden jewelry armoire, I used this over the black paint and it really brought out the color and gave it a sheen, also make it easier to dust. I'm refinishing a wall shelf did the sameI used it on wood I stained for the back of a barI tiled my mudroom floor recently and did something wrong with the grout. Even after sealing the floor it never looked right. I tested this on a section to see if it would help about 2 weeks ago and you can see in my pic the difference. This is a great productI have been searching about eight months for something to use over my concrete countertops that I did myself. I had sealed my countertops with a product but it wasn't enough it seemed everything I came across was extremely expensive I was about to suck it up and buy the Chens product and came across Daddy Vans, The reviews look good the price was great so I figured why not.I decided to test an area of my countertops with this before doing my entire 8 foot island.The product was very easy to apply I simply put some on a buffing cloth and rubbed over an area on the counter. I did buff it out somewhat (by hand) to make sure it was evenly applied. The process was very simple I have been procrastinating doing this hearing stories of having to constantly scrub/buff and go over and over. I was so happy with the application process. It also appears the small jar is going to go along way. I think I'll be able to do my two counters around my sink along with the island and still have some left over (I will update my process as I go along)I'm very impressed with the look of my countertops where I applied daddy van, I wouldn't say it's super shiny but it has a nice gloss finish to it. I believe if I wanted truer shine I could put on another layer.I'm also impressed that in the small area or I did it's keeping the water from the concrete, as concrete is very porous.I normally wouldn't write a review until I was finished, I will keep updating as I finish off my countertops. I wanted to try to help others that may have been in the same situation I was searching for something to finish off their concrete countertops.As I said I will post pictures and update this again once I'm done, I'm just thrilled to have found something. If you found my review helpful or if you have any questions please let me know. I try to give detailed reviews as I rely heavily on the reviews of others.I wish everyone lock that is DIY'ing their own counters. It is a process but definitely worth it
