Fiddes Supreme Wax Polish – 400ml

Fiddes is a reputable furniture wax and polish brand, and offers a range of popular products for the maintenance and enhancement of furniture and woodwork. With a rich history dating back to 1900, Fiddes and Sons have been crafting waxes and restoration materials for four generations. One of their highly regarded products is Fiddes Supreme Wax Polish, which is perfect for furniture and woodwork that has no previous finish. This wax polish not only creates a beautiful shine but also provides easy maintenance by allowing the addition of thin coats of wax in the future. Additionally, it can be applied to pre-waxed furniture to further enhance the natural beauty of the wood. In our opinion it is a superb wax that offers a good selection of colours and a wonderful finish.

Yes this wax is perfect for use on antique furniture, especially on woods such as pine. The supreme range is mainly for use on bare woods or previously waxed woods. For antique furniture or wood with an existing high gloss or french polished finish, Fiddes offers their Mellow Wax Polish, which is made from beeswax. This range includes a diverse selection of colors such as Clear, Rich Mahogany (with red tones), Georgian Mahogany (with brown tones), English Oak, and Jacobean (ideal for darker woods).

Yes, Fiddes Supreme Wax can be applied on top of most existing finishes but on interior wood only. It is not suitable for exterior wood and also not suitable for damp areas like bathrooms. For areas that get damp or wet, Fiddes Hard Wax Oil would be a better option.

We would recommend a minimum of 2 coats but the more thin coats you apply, then the better finish you will achieve. You should apply thinly using a lint free cloth and always buff between coats.

This wood wax is extremely quick drying and usually only takes around 3 minutes in warm dry conditions. Ensure you buff off any excess wax to cure to maximum durability.

No, although Fiddes Supreme Wax will offer some protection, it is not heat and stain resistant against hot drinks or drink spillages etc. This wax is used to create a beautiful satin sheen that is easy to apply and use. For heat or water resistance then Fiddes Hardwax Oil is a better option.

Yes, once Fiddes Hard Wax Oil is fully dry, then the supreme wax can add a beautiful sheen and finish. I would only use this on top of furniture or decorative wooden items as with floors or tables you would be better to use Fiddes Wood Surface Cleaner or Fiddes Wood Floor Cleaner for maintenance.

Fiddes Supreme Wax is quicker drying, offers a higher sheen level and is perfect for bare wood. Fiddes Mellow Wax contains higher beeswax content and so is perfect for antiques with an existing finish to enhance the patina.

With the Fiddes Supreme Wax range, the colour ‘Light’ is actually ‘clear’. Fiddes re-branded the colour Clear to Light to save any confusion as with all waxes, they will very slightly change the tone of the wood. You will never get a pure ‘Clear’ beeswax that does not change the colour to a slightly warmer tone, so ‘Light’ fits the description better.

Please note – Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the tin at all times. Fiddes Wax Polish can melt to a thick liquid in warm temperatures, the wax is still perfectly fine to use. It will harden if kept in a cool area.
