Priory Polishes Burnishing Cream – Produces a Beautiful Sheen

Description

What is Burnishing Cream used for?

Burnishing Cream is primarily used to improve the appearance of finished furniture and bring out a clearer, brighter sheen. It is particularly useful after French polishing or on other suitable finished surfaces where the finish has developed haze or bloom.

It can be used on:

• French polished furniture
• Lacquered furniture
• Varnished furniture
• Painted furniture with a suitable finish
• Antique furniture
• Modern furniture

Burnishing Cream is a light abrasive, so there needs to be sufficient finish on the surface before burnishing. Always test first in an inconspicuous area.

Burnishing Cream for French Polish

Burnishing Cream is particularly useful when working with French polished furniture. It can help remove haze and bloom from a newly polished surface and improve the clarity and sheen of the finish.

Apply sparingly and work a small area at a time. Using a soft dry cloth or very fine 0000 wire wool, work with the direction of the grain before buffing firmly with a clean cloth.

For newly French polished furniture, make sure the finish has sufficient thickness before burnishing to avoid unnecessarily cutting into the polish.

Burnishing Cream for Lacquer and Varnish

Priory Polishes Burnishing Cream can also be used on suitable lacquered and varnished furniture. It helps improve the appearance of dull finished surfaces and can reduce the appearance of haze and bloom.

As with any restoration product, test first on a small, inconspicuous area to check compatibility with the existing finish.

Removing Haze and Bloom

One of the main uses of Burnishing Cream is to help remove haze and bloom from polished surfaces. These can leave furniture looking cloudy, dull or lacking the clarity and depth of a good finish.

Work methodically over small sections, applying the cream sparingly and buffing with firm pressure using a clean cloth. Continue until the desired sheen is achieved.

Burnishing Cream as a Polish Reviver

Priory Polishes Burnishing Cream is also the same formula as our Polish Reviver, allowing it to be used for cleaning and reviving older finished surfaces as well as burnishing newer finishes.

For valuable or delicate antique furniture, always use the least aggressive method necessary and test the product first in an inconspicuous area.

How to Use Burnishing Cream

1. Shake well before use.
2. Apply the cream sparingly using a soft dry cloth or very fine 0000 wire wool.
