FAQs
What kind of finish does this wax provide?
It provides a durable, protective sheen that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. The finish is typically satin to semi-gloss, depending on the amount of buffing.
Can I use this on painted or varnished wood?
This wax is best suited for unfinished or previously waxed wood. It can be used over a fully cured oil-based varnish, but test first. Avoid using it on acrylic or latex finishes as it may cause adhesion issues.
How often should I reapply the wax?
Reapplication frequency depends on usage and environment. Typically, reapply every 6 to 12 months for maintained protection and appearance.
What is the best way to clean a waxed surface?
Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For marks or spills, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Does the Georgian Mahogany color match all mahogany wood?
The Georgian Mahogany color is formulated to complement many mahogany finishes, but wood tones can vary. It is always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure color compatibility.
Can I use this wax outdoors?
This wax polish is designed for interior wood surfaces. It does not offer sufficient protection against harsh weather conditions for outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
Wax appears streaky or uneven
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and is free of dust. Apply thinner coats and ensure you are buffing thoroughly between each layer.
Wood colour looks too dark or blotchy
The surface may have absorbed too much wax in certain areas. Try buffing more vigorously or, in severe cases, carefully remove the excess wax with a solvent cleaner suitable for wood finishes and reapply.
Surface feels sticky after application
The wax has not dried completely or was applied too thickly. Allow more drying time and buff vigorously. If still sticky, remove and reapply thinner coats.
Lack of shine after buffing
The surface may require another thin coat of wax and more vigorous buffing. Ensure you are using a clean, soft buffing cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the wooden surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or old finishes. For best results, sand any rough areas smooth and remove existing polish or wax. Test the colour on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it matches your wood.
Compatibility: This wax polish is suitable for most types of unfinished or previously waxed wood. It is particularly effective on hardwoods like oak, mahogany, and walnut. Avoid use on very porous or unfinished softwood unless a suitable primer or sealant is applied first. Do not use on surfaces intended for direct food contact.
Care: Apply the wax polish using a clean, lint-free cloth or fine steel wool (grade 0000). Work the wax into the wood in the direction of the grain, applying thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry slightly (typically 5-10 minutes) until a haze appears. Buff vigorously with a clean, soft cloth to achieve a sheen. For a higher gloss, apply additional thin coats, allowing them to dry and buffing each one. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will maintain the finish. Reapply wax polish every 6-12 months, or as needed, depending on wear and environmental conditions.
