Wax or soap to polish plaster ?

Looking for a subdued polish on the plaster ceiling in the drawing room - Don't want a high gloss, but it does need some sort of sealing due to the occasional puff of smoke escaping from the fire.
The two options are marseille soap or a beeswax polish (paraffine wax will give too high a gloss).
Opinions ?

Oh yes. A tin of paint has been no where near it. The plaster does have a little bit of blue pigment mixed in, so it isn't pure white, more of a pale sky blue.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Sounds like the kind of question they love on the forum over at Period Property UK. Maybe they'll be able to help.

I lurk - They appear to be a friendly bunch, but with a fairly small number of regular posters. Good place to discuss lime mortar/plaster, managing damp, and issues connected with listed properties.
Figured here would have a wider audience.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
