Gilboys Reviews 

Having bounced around the internet for help with my restoration project, I found your videos and you're down to earth, straight forward tips on how to restore for the best results. Not only that, but you help to provide the very things needed to do it! Everything offered is environmentally friendly and packaged. It's certainly hard work getting the old finishes off, but with your guidance, I'm absolutely loving this project, and know that my old mid-century item is loving the products I'm using. Thanks for your expertise and knowledge!

Having experienced the joy of using Gilboy's hard wax oil, I pushed the boat out and purchased their beeswax polish. It was expensive to purchase from Ireland but, as my father used to say: "the good article is only dear when you are paying for it". He never spoke truer words.
I applied multiple coats to American Black Walnut veneer that adorned a Singer table. I buffed it with a woollen pad on a drill. The result was nothing short of magnificent. The multiple layers gave a shellac-like depth and yielded an irridescence that I never knew existed.
Gilboys do business like business should be done.

Antique coffee table was refurbished by removing varnish type finish by sanding back, with Gilboys hard wax oil and clear beeswax and found the top was beautiful mahogany.
The best finishing products I’ve used and a reasonable price.
Highly recommended.

Gilboys Mid-Century Teak Furniture Polish 'rose gold'; Absolutely excellent product, & service. Big thumbs up!

Great professional customer service, the kind you hope you get but rarely find. Product delivered swiftly, well packaged and great communication, keep up the high standards, well done .

Lovely quality polish, comes to a deep shine.

Gilboys products. 5 star recommended .

So impressed with this polishing kit, everything was so easy to use and the results are beautiful. I have an old teak sideboard that needed some tlc, it was extremely dull and flat before. It now has the most stunning shine, the surface is reflective like glass, I can't stop looking at it. The polish has brought life back to the teak and it smells divine. Cant recommend enough, thank you!!

Absolutely amazing products, best I have ever used.
For literally decades I have been trying different waxes for my hand carved table. I have bought many different waxes, claiming to be "the best for antiques". Sadly none have lived up to their promise. Until I found Gilboys. I got the set of 3 different waxes for myself, as I have a lot of antique and other wooden furniture. I found the instruction videos by Gilboys really helpful. the kit came with steel wool, polishing cloth, waxes and cubes for repair of scratches. One challenge for me is the deep carving in the wood of this table, and finding the information to cut off a paintbrush was ideal for getting the wax properly distributed. I did a small area at a time, and the results were so fantastic I was raving to my family about what an amazing wax this is. I got a kit for my sister for her tables too after seeing the results. The table has not looked this good since it was first carved by a family friend in the 1960's. I have recommended these waxes to my family and friends.

They really care!
Great packaging - the handwritten note was appreciated. Felt very much like the supplier cared that we had a good experience using the polish. It worked really well and improved a table we had bought.

Transformative product/ great kit
I’d bought and used this polish before and it was good - but using it with 0000 steel wool makes a HUGE difference and having that included in the kit was good confirmation that this is the way to go, The product is transformative in combination with the wire wool. Brilliant depth of shine/colour. Previously very average Georgian pieces now look great. Thank you

Excellent product - has brought a set of 200 year old neglected oak chairs back to life! Many thanks. Will buy again.

Great service and great product.
Product did exactly what was required and removed black marks on oak worktop

Wonderful from from start to finish
From start to finish... discovering 'how to' on YouTube, having the products delivered with little personalised and encouraging notes and finally using the oil and wax to transform my grandma's rosewood bed. A joy!

I like the fact that the polish stays on the wood, protecting it, and you leave it to sink in for a little while then buff it up to the level of sheen you want. My piece had not been polished in a long while and was also a bit grubby in places, so I used quite a lot. My advice is that if you have a lot to polish and it's in need of serious restoring, take advantage of the the discounted refill offer.

Excellent results achieved on leather seat pad of a vintage desk chair, next job aniline leather gentleman’s chair. Delivery excellent as usual from Gilboy’s with great packaging.

These products are fantastic!!
Packaging makes it a great shopping experience

I treated my Oak strip wooden floor
I treated my Oak strip wooden Hall floor approximately 1 year ago and the results were fantastic. There’s a couple of hard wear area’s that could do with a light re coating so I’ve bought another tin of it. I do have to say it’s a super product, it smells good, it’s hard waring and the results are exceptional . Thank you Simon for your advice when I asked about giving my floor another coat and thank you for such a great product.

Astonishingly removed the black mark on my kitchen worktop. This product should carry a warning “contains witchcraft”!
