I had similar thoughts.
When I oiled anything on the lathe, everything around the lathe got covered.

This includes the lathe bed, and contrary to what you may think doesn’t stop the Banjo or Tailstock from locking up. It does however make them slide smoothly when required.

I think I will follow your lead with the Renaissance wax. Would machine wax from Ax do the same job?
