Wax finishing

OK, this may be an ignorant question, but I’m curious so I’m going to
ask. I often hear about giving a waxed finish to a piece to help
protect it & such. What kind of wax is this? Does it really coat
well & not add a noticeable finish to the piece? I work mostly in
sterling silver, if it matters. Everyone here is very knowledgeable
& helpful, and I would love to receive some education on this matter.

Thanks,

Lisa
