Gloss vs Satin Hard Wax Oil

Gloss Hard Wax Oil

The Gloss version builds to a rich, reflective finish after two or three coats, making it ideal when you want a brighter, high-shine appearance. Once fully cured, the Gloss finish can be polished further using a suitable burnishing or buffing system to achieve an even higher shine.

Satin Hard Wax Oil

The Satin version provides the same durable protection with a softer, lower-sheen appearance. It is ideal when you want to protect the timber while maintaining a more natural and understated look.
