Traditional Wax Polish

Our Treatex Traditional Wax Polish is crafted from pure, natural waxes including beeswax and carnauba, which are designed to restore and protect interior timbers. Ideal for furniture, doors, beams, and carvings, it offers a moisture-resistant finish that guards against the effects of central heating. The clear version of this product maintains the natural colour of lighter woods, while the dark brown variant helps to enrich deeper tones. Free from oils and water, it dries to a durable, solid wax surface. Easy to apply with a cloth or brush, it enhances your wood's natural beauty while providing lasting protection.

Colours

The colour samples below show Traditional Wax Polish applied on Oak. DColours are representative only and will vary based on the display they are viewed on. We always recommend trialling a sample first to ensure you are happy with the colour as timbers will react in different ways.

Usage/Coverage

Suitable for: Internal use
Recommended timbers: Most internal timbers including hardwoods, softwoods and cork
Applications: Wooden furniture, beams, doors, wooden carvings, children’s toys, panelling

Preparation/Application

Preparation

Ensure the surface is clean and free from dust and dirt. Fresh timber should be sanded if needed (120 grit is a good starting point). If you are polishing a previously treated surface, we strongly recommend a small sample area is treated first to ensure the wax is compatible with the existing finish.

Application

  1. Using a lint free cloth or brush, apply thinly and evenly along the timber grain. Traditional Wax Polish can be polished with a cloth or brush when completely dry (around 2-4) hours. If the timber was previously unfinished or is absorbent, a second application may be needed.

    Traditional Wax Polish can be melted by placing the tin in warm water to use as a liquid wax treatment.

Tips

  • Clean tools with Treatex thinners or white spirit.

  • An initial treatment using an appropriate transparent oil e.g. Treatex Hardwax Oil Ultra, will increase resistance to liquids.

  • Test colour fastness of painted furniture in a discrete area.

  • Store in a cool, frost free environment.
