That sounds like a sensible choice. I haven’t used wipe on stuff, but one of the students at school finished their maple guitar neck in Carnuba wax, it was really easy and looked great. Smelt nice too!
I know people do it (use wax) but FWIW, aftermarket parts vendors like Warmoth and Mighty Mite (both Fender Licensed) won't warranty their necks if finished with wax.

Probably not that relevant here (or in the student's case) but thought I'd mention it anyway.
