I happily use renwax on many coins that I keep in my
collection, and usually not on coins that I eventually will let go. I definitely agree with the "protection against BD argument" as, (so far), I haven't
had a single coin that I have waxed succumb to the disease. I have also
had great
success melting renwax onto fragile patinas and it appears to strengthen the
matrix of the coin stopping further flaking. If
applied carefully, you don't necessarily need to buff it to a shine, you can just leave it as a really thin matt finish on the coin. And yes, it usually does appear to "deepen" the coin.
However, even I sometimes think that using renwax is not needed, or even wanted. If the coin already has a beautiful smooth
patina with great detail, it is not necessary to us renwax.
Also, be aware that if a coin is renwaxed and then polished, it can be very tricky to photograph nicely.
Finally, it is stated that it is easily removable, and that is true is most cases. However, if you put renwax onto a soft blue
patina coin, or a slightly powdery green
patina (not BD) coin, then removal can also significantly remove the
patina. If the payoff is that the coin is protected, then maybe that is OK, however if you are planning on moving the coin on then I think you should avoid waxing it.
