- "I’m not just saying it, but your waxes are superb" - Drew Pritchard (Salvage Hunters)
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.
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:
- This interior wood finish is composed of natural wax and oil, ensuring an environment that is free of hazardous chemicals, as well as completely safe for children. The absence of pesticides makes this product a reliable choice.
- 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

The starter kit is very well thought out. Used the wire wool and the dark wood wax for the first waxing and lint free cloth for the polishing, excellent result straight away. I think I made it harder for myself by leaving the wax coat for 45 minutes before polishing, felt a bit like a workout by the time I had finished. I have plenty of other pieces of furniture waiting a bit of renovation so look forward to getting the same result with them. The added touch of including the sunflower seeds is great, my granddaughter is going to use them and the small instruction booklet is a good guide for those of us who are bit unsure. Thank you very much and long my it continue.

Bought the oil and starter kit for a few projects for the summer. The first of which was a desk rescued from a skip. After a little elbow grease and some repairs I am so pleased with how it’s turned out. The Gilboys products are a dream to use and the finish to the wood top using rose gold wax is just lovely. I can’t wait to get on with the other bits now as they will also be a dream to work on. I also loved the packaging and the hand written note. The YouTube channel and info on the website has been incredibly helpful and I was not daunted by this project at all. I would highly recommend Gilboys products. What a fabulous find. Unfortunately I forgot the before photo, but desk was a very sorry state!

Very happy with my kit, although it is so beautifully presented, I hesitated to break into it! I followed Simon's Youtube video instructions and am delighted with the results. I will be giving all my vintage furniture the Gilboy glow! Thank you!

Lovely items and an amazing smell. Especially love the little instruction booklets. My table looks wonderful and there’s no film left, just a lovely shine. Thank you

I had never waxed any of my furniture before so ordered starter kit and watched gully YouTube video to know what to do. Very easy and satisfying to use with gorgeous results. Thank you. Will order and recommend to others. Love that’s it British made also

I used these products after watching the you tube video made by Gilboys on restoration of a teak table. This matched my project of restoring a piano stool and by following Simon's process closely the results have been as good as I wanted. I have attached before and after pictures and although the seat cover is not attached on the piano stool, I hope people can see the finished article.

Fabulous, thank you.
Thank you also for the guidance which is very helpful.

The starter kit is ideal for someone who only has a small job or who wants to test before committing. A little goes a long way.
I used them on a table after using the hard wax oil and it was easy to apply, easy to buff to a lovely sheen, even for amateur like myself.
I am now looking around for any wooden object to wax.

THE KIT ARRIVED PROMPTLY WITH A LOVELY PERSONALISED HAND WRITTEN NOTE INSIDE, NICE TOUCH. SO FAR I HAVE ONLY USED ONE OF THE POLISHES ON A WOODEN BACKED HAND MIRROR WHICH WAS VERY DRY AND FADING. VERY PEASED WITH THE RESULTS AND LOOK FORWARD TO USING THE OTHER POLISHES WHEN TIME ALLOWS.
THANK YOU, LOVE THE PRODUCT.

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,
John Alford
