I was already a fan of Gilboys products having used their 'Antique Gold' wax which worked wonders on an old chest of drawers. This time I used their new hard wax oil on a bare wood oak bannister with fabulous results - it has a beautiful smooth sheen, and is also completely natural with no dangerous odours which I love. I'm so impressed I am going to re-do all my wooden kitchen counters with it as there's plenty left in the tin!

I have used Gilboys polishes and varnishes several times. The quality of the ingredients, ease of use and most importantly, the superb finish(es) obtained, make recommending their products a no brainer. Excellent product.

Gilboys wax produces a great finish. Helped to restore a sad old table into an attractive piece of furniture. Simon is very helpful and generous with his advice. Highly recommended.

I purchased Gilboys hard wax oil after a quick Google for "food safe hard wax oil" as I had a dining table which had suffered at the hands of my young children. The oil arrived on time with a lovely handwritten note, and a packet of sunflower seeds for the bees which was a lovely touch. After sanding the table I applied two coats of the product approx 8 hours apart and the result was incredible: the table is like new. I have had compliments from everybody who has seen it. The only problem is that now I need to do the chairs to match! I would highly recommend this product and won't be using anything else in future.

Using Gilboys leather balsam is so easy and it brings our leather saddles back to life. Well done - it's a brilliant product and one we recommend to our clients.

Hi I decided to try rubbing down a 30 year old solid pine coffee table, something I have never done before. I used an orbital sander to remove all the old damage and then used 3 coats of the Gilboy's Clear Satin hard wax oil. It was amazingly easy to do and the table looks as though it is brand new. The hard wax oil gives a fantastic finish. The products and video instructions provided by Gilboy's are top notch and I would recommend anyone with old furniture to have a go at renovating it, just follow the Gilboy's videos and you can' go wrong. I can't recommend Gilboy's products highly enough. Gary Williams

It's inspiring what these products do for your furniture and fine items. I've purchased all three waxes, wire wool and polishing cloths. Once I began and saw what they did, I couldn't stop! Friends and family have noticed and are doing the same!

Best beeswax products ever! After deciding to restore some 1960's Australian modernist furniture, I jumped onto Youtube to learn what to do. I came across Simon's Youtube vids and I was sold! Ordered the sealing wax and the polishing wax, and I cannot believe just how amazing the timber on the chairs have come up! And talk about easy to use! I feel like restoring everything! Will definitely be ordering more once this batch has been depleted. Thank you Gilboys for such a great product. It truly has transformed these chairs!
