Restoring Polish

  • $31.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

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.

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.

Brings a lot of character out of old timber

Gilly’s Restoring Polish is truly brilliant when applied to old, dry timber! It really brings out the beauty of it, enhances the grain and leaves timber feeling smooth and new! If you’ve got an old piece of furniture that’s looking worse for wear, consider revamping it with the Restoring Polish!

My home deliveries

My deliveries are most probably small and not all that often but I am treated as an important customer. My phone orders are always accepted with courteous and friendly people. I’ve been using Gilly’s products for approx 10 years and wouldn’t think of changing.
