HOW TO POLISH WITH BEESWAX
- Use a soft cloth or 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 a soft 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 cheap 1 inch trimmed paint 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 20 to 30 minutes later with the soft shoe brush and buffing cloth
HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR BEESWAX POLISH
Excellent product. Well worth it.
I have now tried the rose gold wax on a light mahagony-table, with a very worn surface. I will say the wax managed to bring out the shine in that old surface like no other polish or wax I have tried. I am now applying a later nr. 2 on the table to increase the shine. Will also give you a very good review on the package I bought, very high standard on the polish-cloth and steelwool as well. Have one question: can the cloth be self-combusting after being used to buffing the wax-surface?
Wery high quality. Perfect and easy to use. Absolutely recomended for quality and service.
I bought a twin polish kit with the pure gold and rose gold waxes for renovating a mahogany desk. I loved the personal touch and the attention to detail with the packaging, as well as the excellent waxes themselves. I found it so easy to work with the wax using the supplied steel wool and the results are stunning, bringing out the fantastic colour of the wood. Simon's educational and inspirational videos gave me the confidence to take this work on and have given me the bug to restore other old furniture pieces now.
These are excellent products and and this is an excellent company.
Pictures are before and after the renovation.
After asking for advice which was prompt in getting, I purchased the Rose & Gold kit. Beautiful packaging, easy to use and the difference to the Arts & Crafts chair I’m restoring is amazing after using the Rose wax. The wood now sings. Used it on a Mid-Century dresser same great results, now about to tackle more chairs with the Gold, the smell is pleasant and the whole experience of dealing with the company and its product only positive. Highly recommend.
This is a high end furniture wax that is well worth the cost. It goes on a little different from the Petrolium based waxes I have used in the past, but with a superior result. I like the pure gold so much that I went ahead and purchased another liter of it. I only used a bit of the rose gold to add color to the legs of a piano that I am refinishing and it did an amazing job of adding color to help that part of the leg match the rest of the leg.
Loved kit, cloths, steel wood, natural products. No (fossil fuel based) plastic at all, so fully recyclable packaging. I did one table, results are good, but be careful, as the instruction say, don’t leave the wax on longer than they say. I’m gong to buy more when I finish my two jars. Thanks!
The wax works brilliantly
Great product. Very nicely boxed and great videos to help and support you.
My parcel arrived promptly in Spain, beautifully packaged and personalised - a lovely touch. I followed the Gilboy’s YouTube demo on how to strip and polish - in my case, an old wooden cabinet which was in such a sad state, I was about to throw it out, but decided to keep after watching the video. I then applied Gilboy’s Rose Gold wax as instructed - so lovely to work with. It looks absolutely beautiful now. I can’t stop admiring my handiwork. Thank you, Gilboy’s! I highly recommend your products and service. PS I shall be planting my sweet pea seeds very soon.
