Description

This polish is designed as a starter polish for new work or furniture that has just been stripped back. Restoring Polish will bring out the natural grain of the wood, feed the timber and give a good initial sheen. It is Step 1 of our 3 Step Waxing Process.

Description

 Restoring Polish is excellent for restoring moisture to furniture that has become dry or faded and is effective on leather. The Dark Restoring Polish can be used on black or brown leather. Restoring Polish is not recommended for constant use on French polished furniture or other similarly sealed surfaces, as it may be too 'greasy'.

Used For

Timber, leather

Surface Preparation

Ensure the timber is well sanded and smooth. We recommend using a sanding sealer to reduce the amount of wax needed. Apply before waxing.

How to Apply
  1. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the tin and scrape out a small amount.  Rub into the timber with pressure in line with the grain. 
  2. Buff back any excess with a soft, lint-free cloth or buffing pads.
  3.  Use up to three coats particularly if the timber is very porous, buffing well between coats. Allow up to an hour between coats to allow waxes to sink right in.

Dry Time

Minimum 30 minutes. Ensure the surface is touch dry with no fingerprinting before applying the next coat.

Maintenance

Depending on wear (as the surface becomes dull or dry). These natural wax finishes do breathe, so we recommend use of coasters and mats where applicable.

Clean Up

Warm, soapy water for hands or cloth. Excess wax on timber; dampen a cloth with citrus solvent or mineral turpentine.

restoration waxes

I buy Gilly's furniture restoration/maintenance products, not just because they're top brand oils and waxes, but in the current trend of short-life synthetic furniture and household goods, (and houses for that matter), it's comforting to know that there are still people out there appreciating quality items from natural materials, and are willing to maintain them. Supermarket & hardware store shelves have reduced space to one generic furniture oil in SA, so fingers are crossed that Gillys will keep going with their excellent products. I have quite a collection of creams, oils and waxes in my restoration tool kit.

Hi Julie, what a stellar review for our products! Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know. I'm very glad to hear that you are so happy with our oils and waxes and that you appreciate our ethos. It's people like you who keep the Gilly's brand alive. Sara | Customer Support

Great Wax

Just as I remember. I have started to colour my new shelf (bench wood, raw from Bunnings) and is coming along nicely. The dark polishing wax is a nice brown, unlike some that are very orange. Also there is also only a very small aroma on opening the tin (and smelling) no smell on/after use. Easy clean up from hands with morning fresh, dish liquid, and warm water.
