Wow! I bought this for my parter who's restoring an 80 year old car in the hope that it would rejuvenate the very old leather of the seats. He couldnt't believe the results. The leather is almost like new again. This stuff is MAGIC. Can't speak highly enough of it. Well done Gilly's! It's brilliant!

The kitchen timber benchtops that I coated with the Kitchen Benchtop Oil gave a refreshed appearance and deepened the colour slightly. Thanks for your excellent product.

Used it on my mercedes, she was dry and soaked it all in , easy to apply with a cloth glove , smells nice to

Can I use this on wood cutting boards?

This is the first hardwax oil I used as a new woodworker since it was available at Bunnings. There's no doubt it produced an amazing result, was quick to apply and cure, safe to use inside the workshop, and of course smells delightful. After having used a few of the common, cheaper hardwax oils from other brands/hardware stores/the well known online retailers of woodworking products, I can see now I was spoiled by Gillys!

I have to five it five stars. However it also has a five star price. Its viscosity also makes application more difficult than thinner more oil-like products on the market. Because you need more pressure to spread the product, if you use a cheap cloth or brush, it can start to break up and deposit debris on the piece. Similarly if your piece isn't surfaced well and there are imperfections, less than perfect edges, or certainly fasteners, you'll have this problem. Maybe all your projects are perfect however! ;-)

That said, this is still the hardwax oil to beat, in terms of what's commonly available to average woodworkers/home crafters.

Now where on Earth can I find a 500 mL or 1 L option!?

High quality product, smells nice too

I did Reno’s on a room, last step was window frames and this just completes room, looked and smelt beautiful

Just what I was looking for. An Aussie non-toxic natural product that leaves a gentle, solid, water-resistant shine for my dining tabletop.Easy to apply and buff!

Hubby bought this from Mitre 10 .. such a beautiful product. Smells amazing ( not overpowering just fresh and clean aroma). Wooden furniture is gleaming. Easy to use. As it’s food safe will condition wooden chopping boards next!

Wonderful product. My kitchen chopping board looks like new after a few applications. Smells lovely, not greasy. I love it. Gilly and support staff were lovely responding to my emails. I will be getting the orange fragrance oil next.Thankyou for a wonderful product.

No fuss it worked as per the directions. Totally happy with this product.

Great product. Almost two weeks gone since application on my Leather sofa. Pretty good and retains the shine

I have a beautiful vintage sewing cablinet which has been sitting under a window and I hadn't realised how much damage the sun had caused. I started searching online for a product to restore it and came across Gilly's. After just one application of the orange oil the cabinet is positively glowing, and it smells wonderful too.So happy to see this almost 100 year old cabinet looking good again.

Absolutely dah bomb recommend

This leather conditioner is gorgeous! The scent as well as the texture are very nice to work with, you don’t need much as I found that a little goes a long way when doing my leather shoes. Can’t wait to try this on more of my items! Also love the chopping board oil.

restored my dining chairs wonderfully. They look new

The oil is easy to use and has a very pleasant fragrance. It does the job perfectly.

Wonderful product. My leather lounge looks so much better. Will definitely buy again.

Highly recommended

Fantastic product. Smells great. Highly recommended

Used lavender cream on rosewood and teak furniture that had been neglected the finish was amazing and has stayed shiny for over 2 months now. Love it. Now for the lacquer pieces that have also been neglected!

My antique Chesterfield loved the treatment, like new again!

wow what a product. not cheap but more than worth every cent. a much better finish than tung or boiled linseed oil. i love it. james walsh

As a professional woodworker, there is many things that can get out of control during the completion of a project or a product. It's just common sense to keep things consistent where you can. Finishing is a big part of any wood product, it's the first thing people see and touch, it's also what protects the product during its life.
Gilly's range (Tung oil / Waxes / Lemon & Orange oil) has been providing me with this peace of mind for a while now and I just know that there is no need to go try something else when you found something that does it right every time. I love the fact that it's made in Australia, low toxicity and is easy to repair and touch up for customers because their product is accessible anywhere. No really, I won't be looking for another brand... ever!

We bought this to thin our Gilly's hardwax oil to treat an intricate raw piece of timber furniture. We found it was really needed to spread the hardwax nice and thin, especially in the cold where the wax was a bit thicker.We are very pleased with the results.
