Digital BW, The Print

Clayton

I have not tried it.

But if you are going to seems like a good choice. Since you know of 
it, you likely know it has been used for years in (semi) archival 
situations. Others may not. Here is a good blurb on that brand.

http://apps.webcreate.com/ecom/catalog/product_specific.cfm?ClientID=15&ProductID=17865
"High-quality blend of refined micro-crystalline waxes which remain 
neutral. Formulated by a renowned British conservation scientist. 
Cleans and polishes all solid surfaces including metal, wood, marble, 
onyx, shell, stone, ivory, plastic, leather and even paper, neither 
staining nor discoloring. Has high moisture resistance, and can be 
used to protect paper book covers from finger prints and as a 
protective coating on photographs. Reduces gloss of picture varnish 
and prevents blooming. Also adds luster to water colors and other 
works on paper. "

More generally, folks might like to review

And if you want to research conservation practice here is a good start
