I usually clean my older wheaties (the ones I consider keepers) with water and a tooth brush. The coins always came out looking the best within a minute of running them under the water (while they were still wet). After they dried off they always looked horrible. So I just bought some renaissance wax in hopes that it would retain the good look. When I tried it on this 1912 wheat cent, I got the same results as water... I just applied some with my finger, it looked way better, then once the wax was no longer wet on the coin, it went back to its worse state. Has anyone else had any experience with Renaissance wax and knows how to keep the coin looking in better shape. Any help would be appreciated thanks!!

—third picture is a few minutes after the wax was applied (once it dried)
