Used on a pine cabinet that had water stain damage. After thoroughly sanding back the unit, applied the wax with a cloth and it looks great and feels great as well.

The product is effective and thoughtful and came with all the personal touch that makes the whole difference. Will be buy again and everything else.

Bought Polishing Starter Kit and Hard Wax Oil to freshen up our dining table. After watching some of the very helpful videos have given it a go and pleased with results. It took a little bit of trial and error to build confidence to fix a few minor issues with the condition of the table but certainly the products did their job well. It was lovely to see the thought that went into producing the kit.

After researching the best way to remove black stains from my hardwood window sills, I found Gilboys.

I purchased their Oxalic Acid Dihydrate Crystals and it
worked an absolute treat!!

Excellent wax...really brings out the beauty of the grain. Very easy to polish. Think I'll be using Gilboys wax from now on, thank you!

The polish worked beautifully! And the customer service was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. Will definitely be ordering more once I’m out.

Excellent products. I have been working with wood all my life and this is one of the best products I have tried. I am 93 and a half years old so have had plenty of products over the years. The sevice is quick and the packaging is perfect. Well done Gilboys. Fabulous

This is by far and away the best wax polish that I have ever used. I have tried many different brands and even dabbled a little in making my own; however, nothing has ever come close to this. It applies easily and smoothly and buffs to a wonderfully deep shine. I have spent a very enjoyable 2 weeks refreshing and refinishing our furniture and this has been a pleasure to use.

Would I recommend that you use it?

An absolute and unequivocal yes!! I only wish that I had discovered it sooner.

Prior to using Gilboys, I had always regarded wax polish as an optional extra, secondary to either French polish or varnish etc, but this wax is capable of giving a good finish in its own right.

For years i have used Osmo hard wax oil for renewal and restoration. After watching one of Gilboys videos, I decided to try Gilboys hard wax oil. I have a treasured cocktail cabinet that I clean and oil once in a while and this year I used the Gilboys hard wax oil. I am so impressed with this oil. Simple to use. Applies beautifully and the finish(clear satin) is superb. My go to hard wax oil in future.

Amazing
Brought this as we were having a new oak table delivered. Use it on an old coffee table we had and it looks like new. Absolutely amazing.

Great product
Having watched your videos I purchased the hard wax oil for my pine table and it’s been great. Just as described. Thank you

Great products - outstanding customer service. Hard wax oil absolutely second to none. Would not now willingly use anything else.

Oxalic Acid Dihydrate Crystals 99.6% (100g). Excellent product & personalised customer service, a very nice touch!

Product delivered quickly to Northern Ireland and arrived very carefully packaged. Used the product to remove deep rust stains in Red Cedar wood panelling on the front of my house caused by its fixing nails. This product worked extremely well leaving wood surfaces transformed, and once sanded & Danish oiled, the rust staining was unnoticeable to revitalise expensive panelling which otherwise would have had to have been replaced. Very happy with the outcome.

Second Purchase! Excellent!
I had purchased Rose Gold previously which I was happy with but needed the antique Gold for another project. Excellent product and local to me. Highly recommended.

Their products are really lovely to work with and when the wood is dry it is lovely to touch and has a beautiful finish. I'm new at renovations but Simon's guidance and videos plus great products helped me achieve a wonderful finish

Excellent product. Quick delivery and well packaged. The hard wax oil is the easiest finish I’ve ever applied. After two coats and a few days of curing, a light buff with a 2000 grit pad smoothed out any imperfection on the soft maple top. I’ll use this finish for all my projects going forward.

Thanks to Simon and the team at Gilboys I felt confident enough to restore my Georgian Pembroke table and could be happier with the results. Their help and support was invaluable. The product is exactly as they describe and achieves a beautiful finish with ease. I used the hard wax oil and antique gold wax finish. Table is center stage now in our kitchen - beautifully radiant.

The kit was just as described and the quality was amazing! I used it in refinishing an antique desk, I followed the helpful videos online from the company and the desk came out better than I could have ever imagined. I will be repurchasing again!

Having watched Simon’s YouTube videos I attempted to strip and refinish our Ercol dining table. I had never done this sort of thing so I called Simon's workshop and he talked me through the process. His advice was spot on and the hard wax oil worked a treat. As a complete amateur it was so helpful to have expert and friendly support come alongside his brilliant product. A rare level of customer service! Thank you very much Simon.
