One thing that should be kept in mind, if you start rubbing wax over a finish where there are sections that have flaked off, when you actually do get around to stripping and refinishing the cabinet you will have to make absolutely sure that the wax is removed completely before you try to put a new finish over it. The finish on that 38-1 is pretty much dead, a cabinet scraper will take whatever is still on there right off at this point.
