Can you post when you are finishWanted to update everyone on my wax-work. It's tough work, but I'm happy with the way it's turning out. I've been using Otter wax bars, heavily applying, warming the wax before, warming it while applying, using lots of hand work to rub it in, and there's lots more work to come, but here are some photos of the progression thus far (link vs taking forever uploading here):

The wax actually brings out a greenish-bluish hue from the grey. The second Zlurpo coat I got (size Med vs size Sm) was actually a bit grey-er than the initial one, but I think it actually helped be a better base color for what the waxed color is turning out to be.
As for the "white bits", those are easily melted/rubbed in/ or just simply removed, but I'm waiting until I finish the sleeves to do minor touch ups.
All sort of aiming for this photo's look:

I also like the worn-in way the wax situates in the cotton - makes it fall nicer, a bit heavier, etc.
Anyway, hope everyone's well! It's been a long journey on this coat lol.
EDIT: one last thing I meant to say, though I think the photos speak for themselves, the wax definitely adds the 'shine' I was looking for, though other reports had suggested the wax makes it matte.
