Perfect if you have one prize piece of wooden furniture or have two or three pieces of different types of wood.
Ideal for anyone who would like to polish a single piece of furniture but may be unsure which shade to buy.
We have ensured there is enough in each tin to cover a single piece of furniture (depending on the absorption rate of the wood) such as dining table, gate-leg table, bureau, chest of drawers, or four to six dining chairs.
If you would like to try your hand at beeswax polishing using the products professional restorers use, this kit is a great starting point.
Our beeswax furniture polish is made in the UK from the highest quality natural waxes we can source and is specially formulated to bring old furniture back to life:
100% NATURAL WAXES
- The best triple-filtered beeswax, humanely harvested from local hives
- All natural waxes: Carnauba, Myrica, Japan and Berry waxes
- Blended with nothing but pure pine gum spirits of turpentine in the traditional way
- No white (mineral) spirits, No toluene, No aggressive petrochemical solvents and definitely NO SILICONE
IMPROVED UV PROTECTION
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 RESPONSIBILITY
- 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
- Our workshop roof is completely covered in solar panels and generates far more electricity than we consume
HOW TO POLISH WITH BEESWAX
- 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.
Having recently learned of your products on You Tube, I have used all three waxes included in the "Starter Polishing Kit", and have also now used the "Hard Wax Oil". I employed the wax on a Windsor chair and am very pleased with the result. It changed a rather dull looking piece of furniture to one that received attention. I regret I cannot send a picture of the chair because my daughter "appropriated" it for her home; apiece she had heretofore ignored. I am confident that future use of your products will also prove satisfying.
It is gratifying to see a small business such as your suceed as a result of committment to excellence in your products.
Sincerely,

This is excellent wax and i used it on hardwood without sealant. It gave an easy deep shine on polishing using the lathe.. It is pleasant to use and comes with instructions and accessories. I had the 3 jar sample pack which is useful. This is the best natural polish that I have used.
Does exactly what the instructions said.
Brilliant
Excellent quality products that give an impressive result
I am restoring my Grandmother's mahogany telephone table and my Aunt's vintage secretary. I wanted to use a product that would have been similar to what would have been used in the late 1800's, early 1900's. The Gilboy's product is perfect for this. The starter kit is very generous, providing enough polish for several items. The results were more than I could have hoped for! Just beautiful.
First of all the delivery was super quick and the parcel itself was beautiful with a real personal touch!
The wax has really helped improve my sun bleached chest. It probably needs another going over but a huge improvement.
Nice to support a genuine independent business! 2 before & 2 after pics
Highly recommend
Excellent Product. Excellent Customer Service
We can only say that it does what it says on the tin. Visable difference in our furniture after just one application and a bit of elbow grease. Many thanks a superb product.
Had a review of Axminster tools waxs and compared the value is good. Also for the price of the fine wool
Yes I did want to support having watched the videos but happy to know this is good value for money. Took a jar of honey as well, perfect taste with all this fake honey on sale in shops happy to have the real thing
