I want something like this
https://www.styleforum.net/buyandsell/saint-laurent-skinny-black-waxed-coated-denim-jeans-29x30.407/
no, I don't have this money to buy SLP

I want to make it myself
I know that some people suggest to use acrylic paint and varnish to make a pair of jeans look glossy and wet like the above "waxed" jeans

I really want to know, is real wax like candle wax unable to create that shiny and glossy look?
I've tried, but actually even with some advanced techniques I know (which is only let wax stay on the top of the fabric, never really let it melt into the fabric)
almost no gloss can be created
but only a very little amount of shine can be seen under direct light

what I found out is that, whatever how thin the layer of wax is
it just can't be folded and wrinkled like these "waxed" jeans

is there anyone here in this styleforum, do have experience before?

thanks x 1000000000000 if anyone can help
really, really really thanks!
