We tried waxing one of our images with 'Butchers Wax' (the amber kind...had it for something else) and it took
several coats to get it even.  It was interesting, but the change not dramatic or seemingly worth the effort.

It was on a monochromatic image, that we (on purpose) gave a (forest) green tint to, using OEM inks on the
Epson 2000P, on the Epson Archival Matte paper.
