I’m mainly using this on some internal oak doors and I’m really pleased with the finish.
I lover the wax. The wire wool, lint cloth and was cubed meant I had everything I needed in one package. The presentation of it in the packing with the note was quite unexpected and lovely to receive.
I found an old Ercol 478 Chair locally and bought it to recondition. It was a mission! I wanted to clean it back to the wood. It took a very long time! I used several differently shaped cabinet scrapers to clean it back to the wood and then bleached it to a lighter shade. (I used 2 part Rustins wood bleach and the trusty sun). I then sanded it smooth using 80 and then 240 grit (as thats what I had to hand) and applied 2 coats of Gilboy;s Clear Hard Wax oil. in Satin. I re-webbed it with new Pirelli webbing. I still need to sew the new cushion cover for it but you can see what it'll look like. I am beyond delighted with the end results! Here are some pictures of before and after for you. I will never use another Hard Wax oil again. It smells amazing too!
Excellent quality products that give an impressive result
It’s really very important to follow the process when using these products. Like, really follow carefully (the Gilboys you tube vids are excellent) Then you will get unmatched results. Like the bees that worked hard to produce some of the ingredients - you will need to too. Wow though - the result is incredible, trust me (and them) on that.
Our daughter’s table had been in the sun for a few years . We recommended your polish and with this has restored the two faded leaves beautifully and made all three parts shine . The faded leaves look nourished and their colour restored . An excellent result !!
Brilliant product and I bought the wax polish as well. So easy to use after careful preparation and the final result is very pleasing.
I am restoring my Grandmother's mahogany telephone table and my Aunt's vintage secretary. I wanted to use a product that would have been similar to what would have been used in the late 1800's, early 1900's. The Gilboy's product is perfect for this. The starter kit is very generous, providing enough polish for several items. The results were more than I could have hoped for! Just beautiful.
I’ve never seen a shine on wood like it! Amazing ! I also love that it’s environmentally friendly. The team are also there to answer questions which is helpful.
I have an old scrubbed pine table that I thought would take less looking after using this product.
It goes on easily and brings out the beauty of the wood, but for me it darkened the colour too much. I have sanded it again with wet and dry to take it down a shade so hoping it will still repel stains.
I thought it was a lovely touch to add the sunflower seeds thank you
I have an original G Plan dining table that badly needed some TLC. After watching several Gilboy's YouTube videos I began the task of refurbishing my table. I am thrilled with the results and will definitely repurchase when needed.
First of all the delivery was super quick and the parcel itself was beautiful with a real personal touch!
The wax has really helped improve my sun bleached chest. It probably needs another going over but a huge improvement.
Nice to support a genuine independent business! 2 before & 2 after pics
Beautiful product! Highly effective 👌
This scraper has removed the varnish coat from a table that I am restoring with ease. Very little effort and it saved all the dust that sanding varnish off would have made.
After watching a video on YouTube made by Simon Gilboy I attempted the restoration of a very old, bashed and bruised Ercol dining table. There were a few missteps along the way - I didn’t use Gilboys wood oil and polishing wax first time round - but after some very helpful email correspondence with Simon, I am absolutely delighted with the finished result. Thank you Gilboys!
