Final stages of painting my cabinet and was wondering what people do as far as protecting the paint.

- Do you clear coat? If so, what do you use? I'm concerned about yellowing.
- Do you just leave the paint without a clear coat?
- One thing that I was thinking of doing is just applying wax to the bare paint and giving it a buff to give some sheen. Has anyone done this before?

What kind of wax did you use on the cabinet?

I tried waxing a test board painted with Rustoleum 2x. I tested Mother’s Pure Carnuba Brazilian wax and Johnson’s Paste wax. Both started to take the paint off so I think they can’t be used.

Yeah, that wax attempt was disappointing. Almost like stripping the paint.
