With watercolor and gouache art, protecting the integrity of the pigment placement means you can't use a water-based varnish and certain sprays can dull the vibrancy of the colors. Dorland's Wax doesn't dull water-based media and protects it from stray water droplets or other wet/damp surfaces. It's excellent on my gouache pieces as well as watercolor and even over the mixed media pieces with an acrylic base and pigment markers. It does require a bit of care in rubbing in on over more delicate media on the uppermost layers, but it hasn't disturbed a lot of different products I use.
Graphite, chalk, and some oil pastels are prone to smudging when touched in general, so I try not to use the wax directly on top of those.

Apply it carefully, specially on drawings. As it protects the drawing from further damage, but your drawing is still susceptible to smears if you rub too hard while applying this compound.
