Gilly Restoring Polish

Gilly Restoring Polish

• Designed as a starter polish for new work or furniture that has just been stripped back.
• Restoring Polish will bring out the natural grain of the wood, feed the timber and give a good initial sheen.
• Excellent for restoring moisture to furniture that has become dry or faded and is effective on leather.
• The Dark Restoring Polish can be used on black or brown leather.
• Not recommended for constant use on French polished furniture or other similarly sealed surfaces, as it may be too 'greasy'.

Surface Preparation

• Ensure the timber is well sanded and smooth. Recommended using a sanding sealer to reduce the amount of wax needed. Apply before waxing.

How to Apply

1. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the tin and scrape out a small amount. Rub into the timber with pressure in line with the grain. 
2. Buff back any excess with a soft, lint-free cloth or buffing pads.
3. Use up to three coats particularly if the timber is very porous, buffing well between coats. Allow up to an hour between coats to allow waxes to sink right in.

Dry Time

• Minimum 30 minutes. Ensure the surface is touch dry with no fingerprinting before applying the next coat.

Maintenance

• Depending on wear (as the surface becomes dull or dry). These natural wax finishes do breathe, so we recommend the use of coasters and mats where applicable.

Cleans Up

• Warm, soapy water for hands or cloth. Excess wax on timber; dampen a cloth with citrus solvent or mineral turpentine.
