Hi Will,
I've had a can of steel wool wax in the paint cabinet since my first 
year in business. Same can. I use it occasionally, but certainly not for 
soundboard finishing. The final coat on my soundboards is plain old 
semi-gloss lacquer, not rubbed out with anything, so I don't have a use 
for wool wax there. I have about half a sleeve of 150 grit garnet paper, 
and enough very nearly free FFF pumice to last me more years than I 
likely have left, that produces something I'm quite satisfied with 
without the need for more complexity, Scotch Brite pads or any sort of 
liquid or goo on my soundboard as I level the first two coats. I've 
managed to simplify the process to this point through the years, and 
simple suits me as do the results in this case.
