Used hard wax oil on old farmhouse table. Did not turn orange as other products do. Easy to apply and website is full of excellent advice
I used this wax polish as a finish for my fine italian violin and the result is even better than expected. Shipping was also very fast! I would buy it again.
Thank you guys so much!
We’re currently restoring furniture for a refit of a Victorian pub in London and came to Gilboys for advice on how to best do this. It was made harder as several chairs had been previously sanded across the grain and the marks were quite visible. After using the wax we’re were very happy with the results.
Excellent product & service. Managed to find an Ercol coffee table,(at least that’s what I believe I have,[no labels]), & it needed tidying up; & I needed to practice! Used some oxalic acid that I had from you, & used your wax, post your instruction video that also was an Ercol! I put 1st coat of wax too thick so added a very thin 2nd. Great satin finish. We’re now keeping the table. Oh, & planted the free sunflower seeds👍🏻
The scraper works very well I am really pleased with it.
My husband is very pleased with the wax , it brought out the wood grain beautifully. Thank you
This stuff is so easy to use, it is brilliant and has brought back to life a very battered set of G Plan tables that I bought in a charity shop. It gives a lovely smooth surface with a brilliant shine.
The hard wax oil has turned my dull, worn pine table into a new looking table. Simons YouTube film is so informative. I can not recommend the product highly enough. The product was so nicely packaged and we are looking forward to growing our sun flowers
Bought a charity shop teak sideboard and needed to restore it.
We watched the YouTube video ( teak table) and then ordered this.
The kit arrived quickly and after sanding the only stuff we needed was in the box. Lovely finish and very rewarding process
Watch the Gilboy's UTube video on this product and use as instructed to get excellent results
So far I have only applied the hard wax oil to a test piece as I am trying to colour softwood to match light oak but the finish I have achieved with this product on the test piece is really good. Easy to apply and a nice natural finish. Very satisfied with the hard wax oil.
Pleasant friendly service with an old fashion feel. Loved the sunflower seeds freebie
Used this for the first time after watching you restore a Ercol table.
Used it on Ercol table and 4 1960’s Ercol chairs.
Super service. Love the personal touches . Best products I have ever used restoring my mid century furniture.
It not only works fantastically well, the smell is so good I'm tempted to taste it.
Having restored antique furniture as a hobby for many years, I bought a somewhat dilapidated Walnut chest of drawers & decided to give Gilboys a try. As can be seen from the photos, it gives a superb finish on this piece, which was made before the advert of French polish. My only slight qualm is that, even 4 days after polishing, the finish smeared very easily. 2 weeks later and it’s perfect.
Item arrived quickly and beautifully packaged. Haven’t used it yet but expect it will be as good as the last lot I bought
I bought a G Plan Quadrille nest of tables in a charity shop. They had been used and abused and were in a very sorry state. I have no experience of restoring furniture. I came across the YouTube video and ordered the products. I set to work. The results are amazing! The tables look beautiful now, it's hard to believe they are the same ones. I'm just sorry I didn't think to take a 'before' photo.
My 0000 Fine Steel arrived promptly & looks very good quality. I have not used it yet as we have just moved house, but I hope to soon, for a Wooden Seat Bench that needs a good waxing with good quality steel wool.
I did not realise that Gilboys made their own Bees Wax which I will be purchasing next time around. P
Simon was very helpful and spent time explaining how to apply the polishes. The result was perfect
I ordered the clear beeswax for two unfinished oak doors as I wanted to protect them without changing the light colour of the wood. It was really easy to apply and the doors look great and smell wonderful! I chose this company because of the quality of the product and their environmental credentials. Definitely recommend and would buy again.
I wouldn't buy these products from anyone else, it's a delight to receive your parcel, It feels like my birthday .Lovely quality and your you tube videos help me so much .Thank you
Having recently learned of your products on You Tube, I have used all three waxes included in the "Starter Polishing Kit", and have also now used the "Hard Wax Oil". I employed the wax on a Windsor chair and am very pleased with the result. It changed a rather dull looking piece of furniture to one that received attention. I regret I cannot send a picture of the chair because my daughter "appropriated" it for her home; apiece she had heretofore ignored. I am confident that future use of your products will also prove satisfying.
It is gratifying to see a small business such as your suceed as a result of committment to excellence in your products.
Sincerely,
John Alford
Found this product very easy to use after watching Simon's videos on YouTube. Very happy with the results on my G Plan Dining Table and very much looking forward to starting my next project soon
