Restoring and New Timber Polish – Dark Polish 100g
The Restoring & New timber polish is designed as a starter polish for new work on furniture that has just been stripped back. This amazing timber polish will bring out the natural grain of the wood, feed the timber and give a good initial sheen. It is excellent for restoring moisture to furniture that has become dry or faded and is effective on leather. The Dark Restoring Polish can be used on black or brown leather.
Note: Restoring & New Timber Polish is not recommended for constant use on French polished furniture or other similarly sealed surfaces, as it may be too ‘greasy’.

History of Gilly Stephenson
Gilly Stephenson brought English gentility to the outback and gave her name to a range of furniture polishes of her own formulation and making that is now sold throughout Australia and around the world.
Sustainability
All of Gilly Stephenson product recipes are based on natural ingredients. They use a large amount of beeswax and carnauba wax, both high quality natural waxes for our purpose. They are becoming more environmentally aware however, and where they can, they have substituted certain ingredients after quality comparisons and testing. Whilst some of these ingredients are completely natural, they are from non-renewable origins.
The oils are a proud point, with some of them moving to 100% natural formulas many years ago. This is with the use of local plant oils, citrus solvents and essential oils that give them the beautiful aroma customers have come to love. From the waxes, the Food Safe Wax also boasts being 100% natural, a great alternative to some of the traditional waxes. Along with looking at being more natural, Gilly’s have also responded to changing customer demands by increasing the number of food safe lines on offer. Our Orange Oil has been food safe since 1993!
Another great reason to use Gilly’s products is that they never used silicone in any of their products. Not only is it unnatural, it provides a short term fix for application and becomes a nightmare when it damages and requires stripping back.
Hendra Hardware sources local where we can, similar strategy to how Gilly’s operate when sourcing their raw materials to make their products.
For example,
- Orange Oil uses Australian citrus and plant oils.
- Beeswax is a mix of local West Australian beeswax and imported beeswax.
At the end of the day, like any local business, we like to align ourselves with companies that continue to achieve; reducing their carbon footprint and helping to support other Australian businesses.
