- "I’m not just saying it, but your waxes are superb" - Drew Pritchard (Salvage Hunters)
A clear beeswax polish ideal for use on any type of wood.
Simply the best beeswax polish for any type of wood.
- BRINGS OLD FURNITURE BACK TO LIFE
- PRESERVES THE FINISH OF ANTIQUE WOOD
- REVIVES AND PROTECTS ALL TYPES OF WOOD FINISHES
Our Beeswax polish provides excellent coverage on a variety of wood finishes because pure turpentine holds far more wax in suspesion than petrochemical solvents:
| Size | Coverage Area |
|---|---|
| 1L | 100m² approx. (40-48 standard size dining tables)* |
*Coverage may vary depending on the condition of the finish.
Natural waxes:
- Triple-filtered beeswax, humanely harvested from local hives
- Carnauba, Myrica, Japan and Berry waxes
Pure Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine
No Petrochemical Solvent, No Silicone
Our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of your wooden furniture has led us to improve our beeswax polish formula by incorporating a UV absorber. This addition has been scientifically proven to significantly lessen the harmful effects of UV radiation from direct sunlight on wooden surfaces.
By integrating a UV absorber into our trusted beeswax polish formula, we provide additional protection that absorbs even more of the harmful UV rays before they can damage the wood or its finish. This advanced protection is especially crucial for pieces exposed to direct sunlight, helping to greatly reduce discolouration and extend the life of your furniture.
While it does not block all UV rays entirely, it acts as a crucial additional barrier, extending the life of your furniture and keeping its colour and finish vibrant.
Environmental preservation is very important to us and we make every effort to ensure our products have a minimal impact on the environment:
- We are not driven by a corporate cost-reduction ethos. We select our components based on quality and sustainability rather than the cheapest alternatives
- 100% Plastic-free recyclable packaging
- Recycled cardboard and paper from FSC-approved mixed sources
- Packing tape that is paper & cotton based with a water-based gum adhesive which can be recycled along with the cardboard boxes
- No polypropylene-based tape. We use biodegradable raffia twine.
- Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume
- For best results use the included ultra-soft 0000-grade oil-free wire wool to apply the polish
- 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 (15-20 minutes in temperate climates)
- Use the included open-weave pure cotton buffing cloth to buff the wax with ease and without leaving streaks. An open-weave cloth reduces the heat from friction that would melt the top layer of wax and cause 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, 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 when completely dry with a soft shoe brush and buffing cloth.
HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR BEESWAX POLISH

Gilboy's Pure Gold polish is much harder than the bees wax polish I have been using for years, that was originally purchased from Robert Thompsons. The Pure Gold polish can be applied with little effort and covers the wood well and to my surprise will produce a shine with much less elbow grease than the polish I used to use. I am very pleased with the Pure Gold polish and now I have tried it out, once the jar is used up I will consider moving to the 1Kg tins in the future. Well done Mr. Gilboy for developing and supplying the perfect replacement to my old polish. Thank you.

I am very pleased with my purchase of your beeswax polish. I have attached a photo of a 17th Century linen chest, after a single application of the polish which has really enhanced the lustre of the wood. Unfortunately, I did not take a 'before' photo but it was looking quite dull in comparison.. I have also used the polish on a light oak dining table and chairs with similar results.
Thank you for such an excellent product!
Best wishes

The whole process was simple and clear. The product arrived when expected, and has proven to be perfect for the job. No pictures year as the 3rd application and re-assembly will take some time. Highly recommended.

Our painted front and back doors had become dull and rain stained so we have polished both doors with this beeswax polish with uv filters. So far they look great and we will wait to see if the uv filters are effective.

I have some units made by a friend of mine that are not varnished so to protect the wood I use Gilboys which not only gives an excellent finish but also brings out the natural grain in the wood which looks so lovely!!! I therefore highly recommend Gilboys pure gold for this and won’t use anything else - many thanks!!!!

Gilboys gold wax is a beautiful quality product, and in fact I have been delighted with all of the products I have purchased. Thoughtful packaging , and lovely touch of a little sunflower seed pack ( mine are growing well!) Fantastic service with a personal touch - what's not to like ?

I am SO happy with the products I bought from Gilboys. Finally getting to those projects I have been procrastinating on for years. My mahogany table that had a terrible, too red stain on it is now SO GORGEOUS! Also, my Koa wood stools are better than ever. Thank you so much!

Lovely product and great service from a really nice company, thank you.

Initially, I came across the video. This led me to contacting the company. Simon was great giving sound advice and he seems to have a wealth of knowledge and experience.
I bought the recommended clear beeswax polish.
I was attempting to rejuvenate a mid century wardrobe. However, I felt a bit apprehensive about tackling it. I decided to practice on an old chair first. The product was a lot easier to use than I expected and I am really pleased with the results. I haven't tackled the wardrobe yet but feel a bit more confident doing it, following Simon's advice and using this product.
Thank you Simon.

I restore furniture and do traditional upholstery. I’ve used Gilboys wax for years. Nothing comes close to the exceptional finish. Wood loves Gilboys wax. Buy it. Help the bees- plant the seeds. What’s not to love? 😬
