Worked wonderfully on an antique, mahogany, Edwardian table. I also filled in some scratches with the block of beeswax - though this is trickier than it looks when Simon did it on the video. I realised I probably need to strip the table with methylated spirits and start again but this will do for the moment. It opens up a whole world of refinishing my furtniture.

The process was less successful on a veneer family dining table (despite careful application - twice on one side). The wax did not buff off well and every day, I could see finger prints where the family used the table. Maybe the veneer on my table was not real walnut?
For both tables, I applied as Simon recommended on his instruction leaflet and You Tube videos with the fine wire wool and then buffed with the cotton stockinette. It was a very satisfying process. Simon recommended not taking on too much at a time. So I left the Antique gold to the side of my kitchen and when I had a half an hour I would take on a small part of the furniture.
I am dying to try the leather wax for my British Heritage leather bags.

Gillboys is our go to wax of preference in our small antiques business. We always use the appropriate wax for the wood we are polishing and the antique items always come up a treat. The wax nourishes, enhances and revives tired wood finishes.
Simon is an absolute gent to deal with and always responds quickly to queries and emails.
It’s an absolute pleasure dealing with Gillboys.

I had a pine kitchen table that had seen plenty of use and was in dire need of attention .I had also tried to varnish the table after sanding and scraping the old was finishes off but with disastrous affect that it had over time gone very sticky .I found Gilboys how to restore a pine table video on you tube and found it to be very informative ,full of good tips .I also rang and asked for product advice as i didn't want my table to look to new pine as I have oak work tops and doors in the kitchen .As well as the hard wax oil I bought the antique gold polishing kit to add some aged colour to the table .I loved both products easy to use ,good instructions and the finish is just as I wanted .The table looks lovely and feels great smooth and shiney.Will be using these again on my work tops as they are far superior products to the oils and waxes I have used before .Thank you Gilboys for your help ,advice and products .

First and foremost, the wood polish is fantastic, vastly easier to apply and finish than anything I’ve used before. More than that though is the care and attention in the packaging and shipping. It’s not often you open a package to find handwritten thank you notes and thoughtful little gifts, which I really appreciated. Made me realise that this is a family business that really cares about its relationship with its customers. Thanks a lot, I’ll be back!

A returning customer, can fully recommend this polish, would buy no other now!

I was very pleased on the performance of the product. The one negative is the waiting 20 minutes to wipe off the wax. I would definitely purchase this again

I have really only just started sanding down the table and chairs so I haven’t really used your product yet, although I did a little tester on the table top to see what it looked like, and I must say I am very impressed, and can’t wait to use it properly. So thanks for the hard wax oil, beeswax and cloth/wirewool, will send you pictures of before and after. Kind Regards

I was unsure about the dark colour of the antique gold wax…..but I had the perfect item to try it on recently.

It brought up my recent purchase of an art deco burr walnut desk box, which needed a little tlc, beautifully.

I’m starting on the cocktail cabinet now 😉

As an antique dealer I’ve used a lot of waxes over the years and Gilboys is the best of them all! The quality of the wax is matched by quality service - I highly recommend Gilboys and their waxes!

Lovely wax. Easy to work, great results. Quick service friendly advice
