Boiled linseed oil. Don't know about the wax.

BLO= Boiled Linseed Oil
The last Bowling Alley Wax I got was at my local hardware store. Are you looking for the paste or liquid?

Google "Bowling Alley Wax" and you will come up with a number of sources including Amazon.

As an avid bowler; I can tell you that the alley itself has an oil applied, daily.

The approach has a wax. Use a quailty carnauba wax and you are good to go. "bowling alley wax" is akin to "tung oil"

What is different about bowling alley wax?

Thanks Y'all, that makes sense. :o

Nothing that's going to make a difference. Most obvious difference is that it doesn't say "bowling Alley" wax on it.

Most new bowling alley lanes and approaches are now synthetic.
