What a brilliant, traditional eco-friendly business! I was given friendly, helpful advice followed by a personal, speedy, efficient service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gilboy's
I wanted a soft finish without too much gloss but which is resilient and smooth. I saw a YouTube video of the product and somehow, it seemed like, the presenter really meant and believed what he was saying - at least it seemed that way to me.
The product massively exceeded my expectations. It goes on smoothly either by brush or cloth and successive layers do really bring a really consistent clean sheen. It’s enough to reflect light but not a mirror finish. Dries quite quickly. Seems hard and tough in 24 hours. No runs because of the way you wipe off excess.
I bought it to restore a mid century chair but I’ve since used it on a mantelpiece, a staircase and my kitchen worktops and I still have more than half a can left. Amazing product. Won’t use anything else indoors now. Definitely recommend
Works well, easy to use and leaves a much better finish than the cans of silicone polish used previously
I used the Antique Gold wax on my mahogany bookcase. This was the first application of wax in about twenty years. I cleaned the piece with white spirit and a soft cotton cloth, and then applied the wax with wire wool. Polished with pieces cut from an old vest to save the special open-weave cloth for another day. I didn't take a "before" pic but believe me, this is a huge improvement. The starter kit is a really good buy if you have a few small pieces of furniture to work on and they can benefit from the different colours of the wax.
I wasn't sure if this would be the right product for our Ercol dining table as I think it has a lacquered finish. It's worked a treat, scratches have disappeared and the table has a lovely sheen. Similar great results on Old Charm furniture and cheaper veneer wood furniture. For those who haven't used fine wire will before it can seem wrong to apply polish with wire wool. But it works really well if you follow the instructions. As with any "proper" polish a bit of elbow grease is needed to get a good polished finish. Will be buying more.
Have not had the time to use the wax.If the wax is as good as the service there will not be a problem.
Lovely smooth as silk finish to my restored tables every time. Would not look elsewhere.
I have used the hard beeswax on the utensils I make for the Sutton Hoo ship company project. It is food safe , applies easily and gives a beautiful finish.

Great product, very good service and the lovely personalised note made my day. Thank you.
I’m so thrilled with the wax polish. It’s brought a Regency round table and a Victorian carver back to life. Very easy to use. Unlike standard wax polish it’s super easy to buff with no smears. Thank you Gilboy’s.
Amazing product, will now be my go to for wax polish. End results look fab and the smells also amazing, well done guys.
Really nice
Smells divine
I love this stuff it’s great in my Indian table and pyramid
It came in a lovely box with sun flower seeds
Just all round great
Really easy to order and the packaging was very sturdy with wonderful added personal touches. The product smells amazing and glides beautifully on my wooden furniture and ornaments. You can see how the wood is benefiting the wax and feeding it.
Saw this product on TV's 'Inside The Factory' a few weeks ago and decided to give it a go for my oak butchers block dining table. I bought the Pure Gold wax and though thought it was expensive initially, a little does go a long way, the shine is impressive and the smell amazing. The lovely handwritten note gives a personal touch and the packet of seeds brought a smile. This company is an ambassador of brilliant internet shopping and I will definitely be recommending the product/company to my friends. Try it out for yourself!
So pleased with this product. A wonderful polish that smells beautiful. Thankyou.
Really well packaged and a quality product. It was a nice touch to include the sun flower seeds too.
Saw Simon on inside the factory and made contact with him regarding restoring a table that had belonged to my wife’s parents. Table is around 100 years old and was in a terrible state. It was veneered oak. Simon emailed me back with loads of info how to do it and links to his videos. Got this hard wax oil, the complete beeswax polishing kit, oxalic acid and cabinet scraper. Didn’t need the oxalic acid, but will use it on a couple of other projects. Followed Simon’s instructions and the table came up looking fantastic. Still some dings and scrapes but they tell a story that is now preserved thanks to Simon, his amazing products and all at Gilboys!
My starter set arrived quickly.
My G-Plan coffee table is already looking healthier after just one application with the Rose beeswax.
Haven’t used the other pots yet but I’m sure they will be as good.
Definitely 5 ⭐️
