Mylands Traditional Wax Polish is a premium furniture wax used by antique restorers and professional polishers for over 100 years. Made using a blend of natural waxes, including Beeswax, Carnauba and Shellac Wax, it provides a durable finish with an attractive shine.
This toluene-free wax polish is ideal for antique furniture, wooden tables, cabinets and other interior woodwork. It can be applied to bare timber, over suitable wood stains and over many existing interior wood finishes. It is also suitable for use on metal and stone.
Available in four colours – Clear, Rustic Brown, Antique Brown and Stripped Pine – and supplied in 400ml and 5 litre containers.
Mylands Traditional Wax Polish is available in four colours to suit different types of furniture and timber.
Clear Wax is ideal when you want to enhance the natural appearance of wood without introducing a strong additional colour. It produces a rich wax shine and is particularly useful for maintaining existing finishes.
Rustic Brown is a darker brown wax, suitable for adding depth and warmth to darker furniture and timber.
Antique Brown provides a warm brown tone and is particularly useful for creating or maintaining the traditional appearance of antique furniture and pine.
Stripped Pine is particularly suitable for antique pine furniture, helping to add warmth and an aged appearance to the timber.
Mylands Wax Polish is widely used in traditional furniture restoration. It is suitable for cabinets, tables, chairs and other wooden furniture, helping to enhance the timber and provide a protective wax finish.
The wax can be applied to bare timber, over suitable stains and over many existing interior wood finishes. It is particularly useful for maintaining furniture and achieving a traditional polished appearance.
Mylands Traditional Wax Polish can also be used on suitable metal and stone surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first to check compatibility and the appearance of the finished surface.
For the best finish on unsealed bare wood, Mylands recommends first applying a coat of Mylands 2000 Pale Shellac Sanding Sealer using a brush or polishing rubber. Allow the sealer to dry completely.
Once dry, apply Mylands Furniture Paste Wax using 0000-grade wire wool to achieve a smooth finish. Allow the wax to dry for a few minutes before buffing with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
Wax can also be applied directly to unsealed bare timber without using a sealer, although this will produce a considerably lower shine.
Mylands Wax Polish can be applied over a suitable wood stain. The manufacturer recommends using Mylands Light Fast Stains, Earth Stains or Water Based Stains. Always ensure the stain is completely dry before applying the wax.
Mylands Wax Polish can be applied over shellac-based sealers. Ensure the sealer has dried fully before waxing.
When applying Mylands Wax Polish over lacquered wood, use a clean white lint-free cloth to apply the wax. Buff it off almost immediately using another clean white lint-free cloth.
For the toluene-free formulation, the stated drying time is approximately 30 minutes at 20°C. Actual drying time will depend on the thickness of the coat and the surrounding temperature.
Coverage will vary depending on whether the wax is applied to bare or sealed timber and how many coats are required. Apply thin coats rather than using excessive amounts of wax.
Use methylated spirits for cleaning application equipment where appropriate.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat. Always replace the lid securely after use.
Mylands Wax Polish is intended for furniture and suitable interior surfaces. It is not recommended for use on flooring.
Always read the product information and safety data sheet before use. Test the wax on an inconspicuous area, particularly when working on antique furniture or delicate finishes.
