Polishing Kits

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

  • Gilboys 'pure gold' 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 'Gilded bee' pure Dartmoor beeswax scratch repair cube for repairing scratches and dents before polishing

Coverage

  • A single 125ml jar will cover approximately 12m² or five to six standard size dining tables
  • 1L will cover approximately 96-100m² or 40 to 48 standard size dining tables

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

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

First use of Gilboys

At last have had chance to use Gilboys beeswax. I had to wait until I’d had chance to remove all the previous product from my dressing table. Well worth the wait. The wax went on very easily and has produced a lovely warm finish. I look forward to building up further layers.

Best I have used.

I am only an amateur woodworker but over a fairly long lifetime I have come across pretty much every type of oil, wax, varnish around.. Without doubt I believe that Gilboys hard wax oil is the best product I have ever used. It is so easy to use and gives a superb “professional “ annd hard wearing finish. Adding the beeswax at the end just puts the cherry on the cake. And the smell………

Brilliant !

A wonderful find from the absolute expert in wax polishing. World wide ingredients make the best that money can buy . . . I can recommend most highly - and will buying more when I finish this pot.

Does what it says in the tin

First thing I noticed was the gorgeous rich aroma - results were better for my dark wood Victorian kitchen chairs which are now gleaming. My pale wood mid century chairs look good but I maybe need to stain them first as they are very sun bleached. Will definitely use again

Brilliant Beeswax

Hi Simon,
Thank you so much for your recent advice on your beeswax product - I really appreciated your quick response on the chat, especially while you were out on a Sunday!
My order arrived promptly and was beautifully packaged, and I love the sunflower seeds idea :)
I have now used the wax to polish my kitchen island and it worked a treat! It was very dull before but the beeswax has really lifted it - I am super chuffed :)
Thank you!!
Jayne

I ordered your wax to refresh a chair I am re-caning. What a lovely parcel! Full of goodies and beautifully presented. Thank you

Restored teak table

Having tried to remove a stain in a teak table by sanding the area, I used Gilboys antique gold furniture polish x2 on the strip I had wrongly sanded . Because the surface of the whole table takes a lot of use and abuse (!) I then ‘sealed’ the whole table with Gilboys hard wax oil.

High quality product

Used on a range of woods and makes such an impact!! Not a cheap option for sure but worth the cost and the effort to Do It Right!!

Pure Gold pure excellence.

What a pleasure to come across your shop. Ordered and delivered within 24 hours, beautifully packaged and with a personal touch. I used the Pure Gold on an old pine pot cupboard, which has come up lovely. This beeswax is by far the best and such high quality..
Thank you for such wonderful products and service.
