2. For best results, clean the surface first with a suitable polish reviver.

What wood can it be used on?

Antiquax Natural Beeswax is suitable for a range of previously sealed wooden furniture, including antique and modern pieces.

It can be used on furniture such as:

• Tables
• Chairs
• Wardrobes
• Dressers
• Sideboards
• Cabinets

Getting the best finish

The condition of the timber underneath the wax has a significant effect on the final appearance. For antique furniture, it is often worthwhile cleaning away old dirt and grime before applying a fresh coat of wax.

For best results:

• Make sure the surface is clean and completely dry.
• Use a soft, lint-free cloth for application.
• Apply the wax sparingly.
• Work with the grain of the wood.
• Blend the wax evenly across the whole surface.
• Allow the wax to dry before buffing.
• Use a clean cotton cloth for the final buff.

A second coat can be applied if you want to build a higher level of sheen.
