Adore your products! The personal touch, Ian, adds to this. The scent is addictive, especially the leather balm which has renewed my Camel Stool seats.
YouTube Channel is fantastic for tips!!

Fantastic products beautifully packaged. The unit looks absolutely stunning now, very pleased and high recommend the products.

Excellent product and service
It was a pleasure to deal with Gilboys. From the help I received from Simon via the website to the plastic free packaging and the beautiful presentation. The wax is easy to use with no nasty smells and the results were amazing. I cannot recommend highly enough.

This is the first time of using a Gilboy product and I would have no hesitation to use other brand items of theirs, should I ever need something different in the future. Everything went well, from ordering online through to delivery and as for the finish of the hard wax oil, it is absolutely fantastic; it has brought up the grain on the oak hand rails l've been working on, spectacularly! Great stuff and all power to you and your team, Simon Gilboy.

Good advice in terms of which products would work best for my projects, quick shipping to Italy and the end result with the Rose Gold, Antique Gold and Pure Gold were excellent. Very pleased and would certainly buy again. Thank you Gilboy's

First Class
A great product was quickly delivered in good packaging.

I love the wax. The table came back to life! I have to say I had a problem with customs and I talk with Gilboy’s about the issue and the had a really quick response. They are very implicated with the situation.
Thank you!

Used Them Today!
I have used them just today to buff up some lids from the Hornsea Pottery set I have. Brilliant quality cloths from a top notch service

The product is excellent as was the service I highly recommend Gilboy's.

Review of Oxalic Acid Dihydrate Crystals 99.6% (100g)

Perfect for cleaning up reclaimed wood. Had some old oak decking with black stains on from steel screws. Used this on them to lighten them up and make the wood a more even colour. Took a bit of experimentation with how long to leave it and number of tries but got it looking really nice with lots of character.

Great that this is in powder form so you can mix up what you need when you need it.

Since then, I've tried it on some dark stains on an oak table. Worked really well and looks like new once sanded and polished.

Arrived quickly, well packaged, in no plastic, with a hand written note and a pack of sunflower seeds I'll plant next year. Really nice touch.

Thanks for a great product and great service.

I found it easy to apply and was very pleased with the result.

Saw a Utube demonstration on using hard wax oil which I’d never used before.
Seemed a good alternative to a laquer finish.
Very easy to apply and goes a long way. 3 coats allowing each one to dry. Got a perfect finish after waxing.
The folks at Gilboys were really helpful with advice and provided a very prompt delivery service despite me living out of the UK

Great stuff
Paired this with the oil for my kitchen unit tops and it’s turned out so well. I’m training in upholstery so have used the rest and can report I’m very happy with the bundle. Love how it pairs with the YouTube tutorials and the little booklet with tips which I’ve passed to classmates! Nice personal notes too which is sweet. Thanks guys

I refurbished a 25+ year old pine dining table, chairs and small cupboard to refresh our dining room. I painted the bases and chairs with Fusion mineral paint and used Gilboy's hard wax oil (2 coats) for the tops, followed by a single coating of Gilboy's Pure Gold beeswax and buffed with the fine wire wool and buffing cloth from the gift pack, to a lovely sheen. It feels so lovely under the touch and looks amazing. I put too much wax on and had to cut it back with the wire wool but after a bit of work it came good for a perfect finish. I love Simon's enthusiasm in his YouTube videos and will be ordering more products for future projects without a doubt! Highly recommended, oh and try the honey, it's fab on toast!

Recent complete Kitchen overhaul and decided to put up an Oak shelf to compliment the cupboards and rest of kitchen, then the task of what finish to use. Came across Simon on youtube describing his own Hard Wax Oil, asked a few questions to which Simon responded promptly so purchased the HWO. I have been very impressed by the product and also by Simon and his team. They come across as very caring, professional and helpful.
Good to see innovation from UK companies in a competitive market.

I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Products that ooze quality and are a pleasure to use.
I've just finished restoring our much loved kitchen table which has been through 35years of family life with us. I forgot to take a 'before' photo but it was in a pretty pitiful state after many years of service and abuse. I watched Simon's YouTube video on how to restore a pine table and followed it to the letter using Gilboy's hard wax oil and polishing kit. It went really well and was a very pleasurable and rewarding project. I cannot recommend Gilboy's products enough. They just ooze quality and work like a dream. Both the hard wax oil and the polishing waxes go on really easily , smell wonderful and do a brilliant job. I used the soft wire wool and polishing cloths that came with the kit and they were just the ticket. I also used the little scratch repair cube which was very useful and effective and easy to use. Even though I gave it several layers of polish there is still plenty left in the jar to use on other furniture which makes it really good value for such a quality product. Honestly I run out of superlatives but I'd come back to Gilboy's every time now without hesitation.

Gilboys products are excellent,the waxes give a lovely finish and provide great protection.....the honey is fab

Excellent and Wax and Excellent Service
I have used Gilboys wax before and found it perfect for reviving my antiques. Simon was very generous in giving me advice by phone, thus making the use of the wax really easy.

I am very pleased with my purchase of Old Gold polish. I have used this on a C17th linen chest and after a single application of the polish the lustre of the wood has been really enhanced. I have also used the polish on a light oak dining table and chairs with similar results.

Thank you for such an excellent product!

Gilboys products are made from the finest quality ingredients avaliable and bring out the most amazing shine and depth to any Wood furniture and is much better than any other products that I have used before. I wouldn't use anything else now.
