The only wax I would recommend for floors is a varnish wax you can get from homebase it about £40 for 2.5L but it gives a nice finish. I done a floor for a friend of mine a few years back french pine, They put bee's wax on the floor and with in a year the floor was black with dirt. I spent about 12 hours belt sanding the floor back to wood (never again).
If I was doing it for myself I would either oil or use the Varnish wax.
As far as oils go there are a few around try checking out a few DIY stores or Builder/decorators suppliers and ask the assistant behind the counter thats the guy that looks like he knows something. LOL.

Varnish Wax is still varnish, but with a waxed effect as end-result.
We recommend HardWaxOil, easy to apply, available in various colours and in natural. Brings out the character of the floor and small damages to the floor later can be repaired locally instead of having to sand the whole floor.
