No, it is different. It is a 60% Alox, X-Lox or Lee, and 40% Johnson's One Step Floor Wax.

As I mentioned, the Johnson's product has been discontinued. Here is the best price I've found with it still in stock: Hardware On Line

You would have to search for it but I know that there has been at least one alternative mentioned of the Johnson's product in this topic: Ben's Liquid Lube Recipe

It doesn't need the mineral spirits. The wax is liquid and has a solvent agent.

It's 60/40 Liquid Alox/wax IIRC. Someone with a PC will post a link.

Thanks, Michael. I have 8 qts. of liquid X-Lox and just ordered a boatload of the Johnson wax from the link that you provided...thanks, it's the least expensive source, by far!

Great, glad to help.

Dang RD. At least say your post above mine was edited so I don't look like a dope later LOL.

Just FYI all, http://hardwareonlinestore.com/index.ph ... /error/404 is now out of the Johnson wax. I think that I got the last 4 cans, so I should be set. There are other sources for it...just google it.

I found 4 cans at my local True Value hardware. A worker there told me he could search the warehouse inventory for more. Might try that in your area.

A friend found two in person for $8.99 each last week.

Be sure to look in the domestic/flooring section at Lowes for the SC Johnson One step wax. A lot of people (cast boolit forum) are finding it on the shelves at Lowes. I checked the local Lowes, here, and they had 4 cans on clearance at $1.62/can.
