ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
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.
- No petrochemical solvents, we use only pure pine gum spirits of turpentine
- Reusable Le Parfait jars with a Return & Refill discount scheme
- Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume
HOW TO POLISH WITH BEESWAX
- For optimum application we recommend you use our 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 the soft open-weave 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 standard shoe polish 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 the next day with the soft shoe brush.
HOW TO GET THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR BEESWAX POLISH
My husband and I were in the process of refinishing an old Midcentury modern Rosewood table and couldn't find anything that would really bring it back to life. We followed not only Gilboy's instructions on how to refinish, but purchased this kit and truly saw the difference this product makes. We were so excited to receive this and can't wait to use this on so many more projects. It arrived so perfectly packaged with a personal note and even the box for seeds - that we didn't receive (US based), but just getting the box with the note explaining why was an above and beyond touch. We will be forever advocates of this brand and can't wait to use it on every project.
It was my first time trying to restore furniture and so I was delighted to find the YouTube videos and then these products. I called for advice and Simon was so helpful too
I am quite pleased with my first couple of efforts and plan to do many more
The wax polish is simply brilliant. I have used it on a cheery wood box with excellent results that far exceed all other polishes I have tried. The packaging is world class, especially the glass jars. It is always impressive, (but rare), when the manufacturers of a product treat their own product with the respect they would want their customers to have for the product.
Beautifully presented, quick turnaround from ordering.
Excellent product, our refinished drawers fell like silk after application and smell amazing. Highly recommend.
Beautifully presented, great value and amazing quality....
Recieved my carefully packaged order ;the wax polishes Rose Gold, and Pure Gold, which i have been using are peerless, a delight to use, and a marvellous result. This order i made by phone,and had the opportunity to receive advice and tips from Simon Gilboy, very informative. I unreservedly recommend Gilboy"s polishes,the customer service is like the products i have used, outstanding. John Benjamin.
Thank you for you excellent product and helpful videos. The project I used your product on is a treasured family heirloom. A dining table set that is over 80 years old and had seen some neglect. After completing structural repairs, Gilboys wax products were successfully applied and I am very satisfied with the results. This was a slow process but well worth it. One thing I learned while using the wax repair cubes (like the bee symbol by the way); using a credit card to scrape the excess was a great tip. Seemed a waste to just throw away the scrapings. I reused them but noticed after a while the color had darkened due to using a flame to soften the wax. Not a big problem and easily remedied. This was my first restoration so I knew there could be mistakes. I will order more product so the table can be maintained over the coming years. Thank you again. Very glad I stumbled across your content online. Wishing you much success.
Ps: only 5 photos were allowed; would have selected more carefully had I known.

I have a monk's bench, dresser, and desk from England. Thanks for providing a great polishing product and instructions. Delivery was quick. (FYI: the U,S, Dept, of Agriculture confiscates seeds from overseas. Save them for local customers. :)
The Gilboy's wax is truly exceptional. For years I have used Mylands London, but the Gilboy's wax goes on smoother and leaves a better sheen (shine). I'm a traditional woodworker that uses only hand tools to build fine furniture and this wax will give me the "vintage" look I'm seeking. I'm still in the process of finishing my current project, an L-shaped sewing desk, so I can't show any pictures, but I'll try to when I'm done! You can see my progress on my YouTube channel "Tenons & Tenors"
Thanks Gilboy's!
Hello Simon, these are the stages of my project for renewal. Thank you for the wonderful specialized products. You brought me back to the beautiful past and further progress. Thank you again for your interest.
