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
The products are amazing and the customer service is even more amazing. The hand written note was a perfect touch. Wax protects furniture better than the original finish.
I am very disabled, so I haven't used the product yet. I am awaiting my cleaner.
The packaging was lovely, first class.
The waxes are brilliant. The personal nods ie: the messages and pea seeds a lovely touch. Makes the service you provide professional yet friendly.
The whole package is a quality product that is clear from the outset. Thank-you, regards Charlotte
I have included a before and after!
On arriving at Gilboys’s shop to pick up my order I was really impressed by the welcome I received,Simon gave me some fantastic advice on how to prepare & restore my table & chairs. I followed his advice and the icing on the cake was the finish l got using pure gold beeswax.
If I have any furniture restoration projects in the future I will certainly use Gilboy products.
So impressed with the service and quality of this company. Polish arrived in beautiful packaging making a chore seem like a present! Love the attention to detail and the care foe the bees. Highly recommend.
I cannot even begin to describe how happy I am with my Furniture Polishing Kit. The wax are amazing and the packaging is simply beautiful. Such care have been taken in packing it and presenting it with a hand written note, is the extra 10% most companies never even think of doing. It definitely sets Gilboys apart from the rest of the companies producing beeswax. You have a customer for life in me! Thank you a thousand times for sending this product out to me so quickly and making the most exquisite beeswax ever!
