In my opinion Doc's opinions and suggestions are state of the art and scien ce as regards clarinet care. I haven't checked his product list lately but I have the impression that he does carry a "wax". If so it may be Renaissance Wax or a version of it. There are some clarinet people who advocate "wax" instead of oil for clarinet wood maintenance. I have used both "Renaissance Wax " (a commercial product) on wood clarinets but have never done any scientific testing of results. This wax can be used without worrying about getting any on the pads and it can also impart some protection of the keys to perspiration. I don't know that anyone can say with authority that bore oil is better than Renaissance Wax or vice versa. Renaissance Wax is a well established product used, reportedly, for the restoration and preservation of museum pieces. Google it for details.
"WHY does one use bore oil?" ...Ans. because one believes it is a good idea.
