Is general wax the same as paraffin wax?
It can be. There are three really popular "general" waxes. First is paraffin, which you asked about. It is a byproduct of refining petroleum. They used to throw this away until someone realized it's useful, and now they sell all they make. Then comes beeswax. You get this by mashing up honeycomb then just barely heating what you get; the wax will melt and float to the top. The third is carnauba, which comes from the leaves of a special palm tree. They cut the palm leaves (fronds) off the trees and let them dry out; the wax flakes off the dried leaves.
