HOW TO POLISH WITH BEESWAX
- Use the included ultra-fine 0000 wire wool for application
- 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 for 20-30 minutes
- Use the included 100% cotton open-weave buffing cloth to gently buff the wax to your preferred depth of shine. We recommend an open-weave to reduce the heat from friction that causes smearing.
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.
Before ordering, I spoke to Simon on the phone who was so helpful, advising me which products would give the best results for my project. I’m delighted with my refurbished, oak coffer!
State of the art products that arrived promptly.
I’ve used this polish for several years now and it is by far the best I’ve ever used and the only one I will now buy
Very high quality waxes that cover well and don't show fingerprints. It can take time to buff delicate instruments after application, but the results are excellent. Highly recommended!
extremely helpful and courteous advice about product,
it arrived within 48 hours, beautifully presented and packaged but, most importantly, the polish gives a great result.
Thoroughly to be commended and recommended.
A nice fuss free wax without the harsh solvents.
We love antique furniture and have recently bought a hall cupboard from the 18th century. It was very dirty and unloved.
I had used commercially available waxes and polishes before and wanted to get something special for this piece. Now I realise I have been wasting my time all of my life using the big-brand off the shelf products because the finish that the Gilboys Antique polish gave to the cupboard was a shock.
We were literally speechless. The finish was so good we were laughing because we didn't think we could get a piece of furniture to look so good in our home.
We are frequent visitors to National Trust properties and you see the furniture inside the homes and think "if only I could have something like that" and this is the kind of result you get with this product, it gives you a look and a finish to your furniture you could only dream about having.
It is wonderful to learn about the Gilboys company too, the ingredients within the products are better than most alternative furniture polish brands, the level of detail and the additional "touches" make the brand something I am proud to have found and support.
My pictures show the before of a hall cupboard, a shot showing one panel complete and then the final result.
Wonderful product and packaging so beautiful and special. Can't wait to bring it to Canada for my mum, as nothing compares to this polish!! Thank you Gilboy's- we are lifelong customers!
This is a note of thanks.
The items only took about a week to arrive in Australia, which was lightening quick, and were well packaged.
I have already used the pure on my antique Baltic pine chest of drawers and am very pleased with the ease of use and the result.
Thank you for the great service and excellent product.
I was impressed with the results. Table looks and feels smooth and silky to the touch. It has really come back to life! Great directions from the web video helped make the experience of renovating the table a lot of fun since it explained the steps so well. The only part I errored in was that I didn’t get the coarse wool, only the fine wool and therefore only striped the varnish with a paint spatula. But even then, the end results were amazing.
