FAQs
Is this wax polish suitable for outdoor furniture?
Fiddes Supreme Wax Polish is primarily designed for interior use. For outdoor furniture, a more durable, weather-resistant finish is recommended.
How many coats of wax should I apply?
For most applications, one to two thin coats are sufficient. Apply additional coats only if a deeper finish or more protection is desired, ensuring proper drying and buffing between each layer.
Can I apply this over a water-based sealant?
Yes, this wax polish is compatible with most water-based sealants. Ensure the sealant is fully cured before applying the wax. Always test on a small area first.
What is the best way to buff the wood?
Use a clean, soft lint-free cloth. For larger areas, a powered buffing machine can be used on a low setting. Buff in circular motions or with the grain until the desired sheen is achieved.
Does this wax polish contain harmful solvents?
No, this product is toluene-free and has a low aromatic content, making it a safer alternative to many traditional wax polishes.
How long does the finish last?
The durability of the finish depends on usage and environmental conditions. Regular dusting and occasional reapplication of a thin coat will help maintain the finish.
Troubleshooting
Wax appears streaky or uneven
Apply a thinner coat and ensure even coverage. Buff thoroughly to remove excess wax and achieve a uniform sheen.
Surface feels sticky after application
The wax has not dried sufficiently or too much has been applied. Allow more drying time and buff vigorously. If still sticky, a solvent-based cleaner may be needed to remove excess wax, followed by reapplication.
Color does not match expectation
Wood type and existing finish can affect the final color. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Consider applying a different shade or a clear wax over it if the color is too strong.
Poor adhesion on existing finish
Ensure the existing finish is clean and lightly keyed (sanded) to provide a surface for the wax to adhere to. Remove any old wax or polish buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. For best results on bare wood, an initial seal coat may be beneficial. Apply a thin, even layer of Fiddes Supreme Wax Polish using a soft cloth or applicator pad, working in the direction of the wood grain. Allow the wax to dry for approximately 10-20 minutes (drying time may vary based on ambient temperature and humidity). Buff the surface with a clean, soft cloth or a buffing machine to achieve the desired sheen. For a higher sheen, multiple thin coats can be applied, allowing each to dry and buffing between coats.
Compatibility: This wax polish is suitable for all types of bare or previously sealed wood. It is compatible with most finishes, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. It is not recommended for use on floors subjected to heavy foot traffic or surfaces that require a high-gloss, durable lacquer.
Care: To maintain the finish, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the wax finish.
