The Antique Furniture Polishing Restoration Kit is suitable for a wide range of furniture restoration projects.
It can be used to:
The aim is to restore and enhance the existing finish rather than automatically stripping and refinishing the furniture.
The first stage is to repair small areas of damage using the Repair King Wax Filler Sticks.
The wax filler can be used to fill scratches, small dents, screw holes, chips and other minor damage to wood.
Simply chip a small amount of wax from the filler stick and press it into the damaged area using the supplied applicator. If the wax is cold, warming it slightly between your fingers can make it easier to work.
Remove any excess using the edge of the applicator and then buff the repaired area with a clean cloth.
Once small repairs have been completed, use Priory Polishes Polish Reviver to remove accumulated dirt, grime and other surface contamination while helping to revive the existing finish.
Shake the Polish Reviver well before use and apply sparingly using the supplied fine cotton buffing cloths.
For more heavily soiled surfaces, the ultra-fine 0000 steel wire wool can be used damp with the Polish Reviver.
Always work with the grain of the wood.
Once applied, use firm pressure with the buffing cloth to lift out the dirt and remove excess product.
Older or particularly dirty furniture may require several applications.
After cleaning and reviving the furniture, use Priory Polishes Liquid Wax on scratches, carvings and dry areas of timber such as backboards and furniture interiors.
Shake well before use and apply sparingly using a soft dry cloth. A brush can be useful for getting into carvings and other difficult areas.
Lightly remove excess wax with a clean dry cloth, working with the grain wherever possible.
Allow the Liquid Wax to dry for approximately 30 minutes before buffing with a clean cloth.
Do not use furniture wax inside drawers where clothes are stored.
Once the dirt has been removed and the original finish has been revived, use Priory Polishes Finishing Wax Polish to enhance the colour and sheen while providing a protective wax finish.
Apply a small amount evenly using either the supplied buffing cloth or fine 0000 wire wool.
Work in the direction of the wood grain where possible and remove excess product lightly.
Allow the wax to dry for approximately 10 minutes, then buff with a soft dry cloth until the desired sheen is achieved.
Several thin applications can be used where additional depth of colour and sheen is required.
Once restored, the Finishing Wax can also be reapplied periodically to help maintain the appearance of the furniture and protect the timber from drying out.
The kit is designed to be used in a simple sequence:
Always work carefully and avoid removing more of the original finish than necessary. The existing patina is often an important part of the character of antique furniture.
The kit is available in two options to suit different furniture colours:
If you are unsure which option is most suitable, consider the existing colour of the furniture and the finish you want to achieve.
It is a complete furniture restoration kit containing products for repairing, cleaning, reviving, waxing and buffing antique and vintage wooden furniture.

Yes. The Repair King Wax Filler Sticks are designed for filling small dents, scratches, screw holes, chips and other minor damage to wood.
The ultra-fine 0000 steel wool can be used with Polish Reviver on more heavily soiled furniture. It can also be useful when applying the finishing wax. Always work gently and with the grain.
Shake the product well and apply it sparingly using the supplied cotton buffing cloths. On more heavily soiled surfaces, use damp 0000 steel wool. Work with the grain, then use firm pressure with the buffing cloth to lift out dirt and remove excess product.
Allow the Liquid Wax to dry for approximately 30 minutes before buffing with a clean cloth.
Allow the Finishing Wax to dry for approximately 10 minutes before buffing.
Yes. The kit is available in a Medium to Dark Woods option as well as a Light Woods option.
Yes. Choose the Light Woods option for suitable lighter-coloured furniture.
Liquid Wax can be used on suitable dry areas such as backboards and interiors, but it should not be used inside drawers where clothes are stored.
Once a piece has been restored, Finishing Wax can be reapplied periodically to help maintain the appearance of the surface and protect the timber from drying out. Apply thin coats rather than excessive amounts.
Not necessarily. The kit is specifically designed to clean and revive suitable existing finishes without the need for complete re-polishing. On antique furniture, retaining a sound original finish and patina can be preferable to stripping it.
The products are intended for antique furniture restoration, but valuable or historically important pieces should always be approached carefully. Test in an inconspicuous area first and consider professional restoration advice where appropriate.
It contains the principal products needed for repairing minor damage, cleaning and reviving the existing finish, applying wax and buffing the furniture. More extensive structural repairs or complete refinishing may require additional materials.
This kit is primarily designed to clean, revive, repair and wax an existing furniture finish. A French polishing kit is intended for applying or restoring a shellac-based French polish finish and involves a different restoration process.
Important: Always test in a small inconspicuous area first and follow the instructions and safety information supplied with the individual products.
