HOW TO POLISH WITH BEESWAX
- For optimum application we recommend you use our very fine 0000 wire wool
- With gentle pressure spread the polish evenly over the surface in the direction of the grain, being careful not to over apply and avoid any upholstered areas. Once applied the surface area should look matt in appearance
- Allow the pure pine turpentine to completely evaporate and the wax to harden
- Use the soft open-weave buffing cloth to buff the wax to a deep and lustrous shine
Weekly furniture maintenance of removing dust can be done by simply using a slightly damp cloth and drying if needed with a clean dry cloth - beeswax polish will protect the surface for a very long time.
If you have a larger surface like the side of a chest of drawers or the top of a dining table apply the beeswax more evenly by dabbing the surface all over with small amounts of polish and then wipe in the direction of the grain to spread the wax evenly.
*SECRET TRADE TIP:
For carved relief areas such as an antique coffer, you can also apply beeswax furniture polish with a standard shoe polish brush. It makes applying the beeswax much easier and allows the polish to get right into those dusty and hard to reach areas. Buff it the next day with the soft shoe brush.
HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR BEESWAX POLISH
I ordered the COMPLETE BEESWAX FURNITURE POLISHING KIT, which was sent immediately.
Due to the coronavirus I received it about three weeks later and today I decided to wax a 20 year old pine dining table which we keep in our veranda.
THE WAX IS AMAZING!
It took me about three hours to sand the entire table AND ONLY 40 MINUTES TO WAX AND BUFF IT, top, sides, legs and all!!
I wish I had taken "before pictures", because the transformation is amazing and our table is now brand new! (Pls notice how the chair and the cat are reflected on the table!)
Thank you Gilboy's for the joy I brought to my wife after thirty years of marriage :)
Everything about the product is wonderful and I'm enjoying working with it a great deal. As impressed as I was with the product, it was the hand-written note inside the box, beautifully illustrated, that truly set Gilboy's apart. I look forward to working with Gilboys for a long time!
I was very happy with the purchase.
Great customer service and awesome products.

Used this on an old dining table and it looks perfect. Watched videos and worked as shown in YouTube. And my sweetness are now growing.
Hello
I am very impressed by your efficiency in shipping etc and packaging.
Waiting nervously for sweet peas to sprout I hope it’s not too late.
I haven’t had a chance to polish yet but will send feedback after I do.

Having contacted Gilboys to ask for advice on exactly the right product I required, it was delivered within 48hours, beautifully packaged with a hand written card thanking for the purchase. Excellent served and products. (Picture is work in progress, a lot of sanding still to do!)
What a pleasure to use this beeswax furniture polish, especially with the soft wire wool which I had not used before. I thank you and my furniture thanks you. Excellent.
The Complete Beeswax Furniture Polishing Kit has been a total success.
The packaging was beautiful, with a lovely hand-written note.
The polish produces the most beautiful smear-free deep sheen on old furniture, and really has brought it to life. I’m now steadily moving around the house, one piece of furniture at a time!
Thank you.
