  • "I’m not just saying it, but your waxes are superb" - Drew Pritchard (Salvage Hunters)

Simply the best beeswax wood polish specially formulated for use on all Mid Century Teak furniture by G-Plan, Nathan, McIntosh and similar brands.

  • 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
1 Jar (125ml) 12m² approx.
(5-6 standard size dining tables)*
1L 100m² approx.
(40-48 standard size dining tables)*

*Coverage may vary depending on the condition of the finish.

**Not suitable for use on floors - the wax content is so high that the slip resistance would not be sufficient.

Natural waxes:
  • Triple-filtered beeswax, humanely harvested from local hives
  • Carnauba, Myrica, Japan and Berry waxes
Portugese Pure Pine Gum Spirits of Turpentine
distilled from organically certified resin tapped from living pine trees. (RN21 initiative)
No Petrochemical Solvent, No Silicone

Our polishing kits include everything you need to restore, polish and protect the finish of your wood furniture:

  • Gilboys beeswax furniture polish
  • 1.2 metres of our antique restorers' recommended oil-free '0000' grade ultra-soft wire wool for easier application
  • 2 large lengths of our antique restorers' recommended open-weave 100% cotton polishing cloth for streak-free buffing
  • A matching 'Gilded bee' pure beeswax scratch repair cube for repairing scratches and dents before polishing

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
  • No petrochemical solvents, we use only pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
  • 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
  1. For best results use ultra-soft 0000-grade oil-free wire wool or a soft cloth to apply the polish
  2. 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
  3. Allow the pure pine turpentine to completely evaporate and the wax to harden (15-20 minutes in temperate climates)
  4. Use the an 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.

*Not suitable for use on floors - the wax content is so high that the slip resistance would not be sufficient.

  • It brought out the grain beautifully and left a lovely sheen when buffed.
  • Adds vibrancy and depth to all types of wood, not just the lighter ones.
  • Made the table 'pop' with color and a deep shine.

Beautiful product

Bought to revive a Gplan nest of tables and two gplan base units I’ve inherited. My purchase was delivered very quickly and beautifully packaged with a personalised card thanking me for my purchase. There is even a sachet of sunflower seeds to plant to help the bees ! I’ve only used the product on 2 of the tables so far but I’m really pleased with the results. The beeswax has given the tables a lovely rich colour.

Nanny and Grandads dining table

After watching teak coffee table U tube video twice I felt confident enough to tackle a 1960 s folding dining table that had belonged to my in-laws
My daughter had it but lent it to friends and it was in a sorry state. My son has just moved into a new flat and said he would like it and was happy for me to attempt to revive it
I've had a great few days going through the stages of restoration and realising quite early on that I was going to be successful
This morning I applied a coat of wax polish and after leaving it for half an hour buffed it up and felt quite emotional to see the dear old table restored. Not perfect but probably all the better for that.
Thank you Gilboys

Top quality product and comprehensive video how to use

Purchased after watching in depth video of Gilboys renovation video of a g plan table. I have used Gilboys hot wax and beeswax polish to renovate my late parents 50+years old g plan dining table and chairs( heavily marked and scratched). Looks like new, thank you for both excellent quality products and comprehensive video on how to best use. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing products, best I have ever used.

For literally decades I have been trying different waxes for my hand carved table. I have bought many different waxes, claiming to be "the best for antiques". Sadly none have lived up to their promise. Until I found Gilboys. I got the set of 3 different waxes for myself, as I have a lot of antique and other wooden furniture. I found the instruction videos by Gilboys really helpful. the kit came with steel wool, polishing cloth, waxes and cubes for repair of scratches. One challenge for me is the deep carving in the wood of this table, and finding the information to cut off a paintbrush was ideal for getting the wax properly distributed. I did a small area at a time, and the results were so fantastic I was raving to my family about what an amazing wax this is. I got a kit for my sister for her tables too after seeing the results. The table has not looked this good since it was first carved by a family friend in the 1960's. I have recommended these waxes to my family and friends.

Fantastic

So impressed with this polishing kit, everything was so easy to use and the results are beautiful.

I have an old teak sideboard that needed some tlc, it was extremely dull and flat before. It now has the most stunning shine, the surface is reflective like glass, I can't stop looking at it. The polish has brought life back to the teak and it smells divine. Cant recommend enough, thank you!!

He probado muchas ceras francesas y españolas, y compré ' rose gold' buscando una nueva en Internet. Es una cera extraordinaria tanto en muebles antiguos como en maderas más modernas. Mis felicitaciones a Gilboys por su magnífica cera.

Top Class Product

People and businesses should take notice of how Gilboys conduct their business. From their Social Media, paid promotions, their website, the ease of ordering. The list goes on. The speed of delivery and the quality of the packaging was top notch.
Now let’s talk the rose gold wax. Absolutely fantastic! The smell, the application and the finish , all superior.

Love This Gilboys Stuff!

I ordered this product after seeing the fantastic results on the YouTube channel “Escape to the Dream” about a family restoring their French chateau. The old, awful furniture they would buy at brocantes came out gorgeous so I thought, why not? I bought it for my cherry and darker furniture, but decided to try it first on my oak cabinet. It looks fantastic! Next project is the Cherry furniture, I promise!

Excellent kit.

Bought a charity shop teak sideboard and needed to restore it.
We watched the YouTube video ( teak table) and then ordered this.
The kit arrived quickly and after sanding the only stuff we needed was in the box. Lovely finish and very rewarding process

Brilliant products

I bought a G Plan Quadrille nest of tables in a charity shop. They had been used and abused and were in a very sorry state. I have no experience of restoring furniture. I came across the YouTube video and ordered the products. I set to work. The results are amazing! The tables look beautiful now, it's hard to believe they are the same ones. I'm just sorry I didn't think to take a 'before' photo.

First attempt

This was my first attempt to restore my G plan coffee tables to their full glory. I have now finished the first one and I am really pleased with how it looks even though I could not get the heat marks out, which spoils it a bit.

The products were easy to use and your tutorial was very helpful. The smell of the beeswax is the best bit. I now wast to Polish all my wooden furniture with it.

I will certainly be ordering more products in future.

Do things right…

Take time to do things the right way and use the right materials and you get a good result. Unfortunately, us amateurs invariably don’t! But Simon Gilboys products are superb, made for the job and fine quality. Use them in the way his videos show and you will get results far better than an amateur may ever hope for!!

Excellent wax

I purchased a plain pine boot box. As it looked a bit grim and it stained easily I thought I’d wax & paint the top as it’s in the conservatory with plants on top.
Gilboys wax is excellent and turned a cheap box into a reasonably good looking, functional piece of furniture

YouTube video and this product are a diyer’s dream

This product is fantastic, I love that it’s local and natural. The packaging is even thoughtful, no plastic in sight. I bought this because of the fantastic upcycling mid century furniture YouTube video you did. It was so helpful and being able to buy a product I knew was going to be good for a reasonable price was an extra reassurance that I wouldn’t ruin my furniture and I haven’t the results are amazing!! Highly highly recommend!! And use their videos too they’re so helpful! Photo is pre upholstery.
