Fiddes Garnet Polish – 1 Litre

Description

Fiddes Garnet Polish is Shellac based and creates a more rich and darker shade adding to the depth of colour of your wood. This is often used on antique furniture as it offers a more genuine French Polished look, especially on Oak.  It can help to mask the grain but also create a beautiful sheen.
