Burnishing Cream for French Polish

Liberon Burnishing Cream is particularly useful for French polished furniture.

French polished surfaces can become dull, hazy or marked over time. Burnishing Cream can help rejuvenate a suitable existing finish and restore a smoother, brighter appearance.

It can also be used after applying a suitable French polish when the finish has developed sufficient thickness and has been allowed to cure properly.

Because burnishing cream is designed to work on the surface of the existing finish, always ensure there is sufficient polish present and test first on an inconspicuous area.


Burnishing Cream for Lacquer and Varnish

Liberon Burnishing Cream can be used on suitable lacquered and varnished surfaces to help remove dullness, haze and bloom.

This makes it useful for restoring the appearance of tired furniture without necessarily having to strip and completely refinish the existing surface.

Always check that the existing finish is suitable before use and test on a small, inconspicuous area first.


Removing Haze and Bloom

One of the main uses of Liberon Burnishing Cream is removing haze and bloom from suitable polished finishes.

Haze or bloom can leave a milky, cloudy or dull appearance across an otherwise good finish. Burnishing Cream can help restore clarity and sheen when used correctly.

Work methodically over a small section at a time, paying particular attention to areas affected by haze or bloom.


Removing Superficial Scratches

Liberon Burnishing Cream can also help cover superficial scratches in suitable polished finishes.

It is important to distinguish between superficial surface marks and deeper damage. Burnishing Cream is not designed to repair deep scratches, gouges or damage that extends through the finish.

For more serious damage, additional restoration work may be required.


Burnishing Cream for Antique Furniture

Liberon Burnishing Cream is suitable for both antique and modern furniture, making it a useful product for furniture restoration and maintenance.

It can be particularly useful when an antique piece has a sound existing finish but has become dull or hazy over time.

When working on valuable or historic furniture, always test the product carefully in an inconspicuous area first and use the least aggressive method necessary. Priory Polish Reviver may be more suitable for this as it has been designed for use on antique finishes.

ssible. Pay particular attention to areas affected by haze, bloom or superficial marks.

Once the product has dried, buff thoroughly with a clean cotton cloth to reveal the improved sheen.


Liberon Burnishing Cream vs Polish Reviver

Although Burnishing Cream and Polish Reviver can both be used when restoring tired furniture finishes, they have different primary purposes.

Burnishing Cream is specifically designed to burnish and rejuvenate highly polished surfaces, making it particularly useful for removing haze and bloom and improving the sheen of suitable French polish, lacquer and varnish finishes.

Polish Reviver is generally the better choice when the main aim is to gently clean and revive an older original finish.

For a newly French polished or lacquered surface where you want to develop a higher sheen, Burnishing Cream can be particularly useful once the finish has properly cured.
