QTR-Quadtone RIP

In the wet darkroom, there were a few papers that seemed to benefit from
Renaissance wax (I remember Brovira especially).  Out of curiosity I tried
it on an Epson 2200 inkjet print on semi-gloss paper.  I saw no image
benefit or reduction in bronzing.  BTW I was filing away some older prints
made on Oriental warm-tone VC paper, and noticed that the gloss differential
was pretty extreme when I tilted the paper.  Odd that I hadn't noticed it
before, but then I wasn't looking for it then.

Subject: [QuadtoneRIP] renaissance wax and bronzing?

 

Has anybody got experience with Renaissance wax? 

It surely protective and dealers claim it'll "reduce" bronzing...what
does "reduce" mean? Is it highly worthwhile for that purpose? 

I'd rather apply wax and rub it (did that with Johnson's paste on
darkroom prints in the 70s) than spray because I don't want to deal
with dust and fumes (want to do it indoors).
