Daddy Vans Natural Beeswax Furniture
Got a new solid wood desk from Crate and Barrel. Wanted protection from accidental water.
Applied wax with part of clean cloth. Waited a few minutes, the wiped/buffed it dry with unused part of cloth. It gave the maple wood a nice deep even color. Not shiny, but a nice gentle sheen. Smelled very good for about a day. 3 days later still looks great. Not sure how often I'll have to do this, but I would definitely use this on new wood furniture for initial protection. OMG, I think I just recommended buffing my wood with this wax for protection!
Also, I was a little nervous due to the review describing darkening the wood due to oil. Although I cannot comment on his situation, when I applied the wax, the color became more uniform. I would not describe the effect as oily or shiny at all but rather a very subtle sheen. I can barely notice it is there. Also, I tested it with a couple drops of water... this is by no means waterproof, but it is effective at making the wood water resistant (or tolerant). I tested the wood by dropping a couple drops of water on my desk... the water beaded up nicely. Once a towel was applied, the water much preferred the towel to the desk. I did not experience any discoloration or any need to re-apply to balance out anything. I realize I sound like a shill but I was reviewing my review and saw the other review that had made me hesitate before purchase, so I felt like addressing it. Personally I get a lot from these reviews, so I try to help others the way you people help me. So, as stated above, I can recommend this to treat real wood.
I bought two jars of this natural furniture polish and have been very happy with it. I used a soft cloth to rub it into my wooden deck furniture from Ikea (made out of acacia wood). It smells nice, but is only mildly scented and not too strong. It left the wood with a lovely shine and deeper color. I had to use a second cloth a day later to finish rubbing off the excess polish, because the surface was a little tacky after application (probably because I used a little too much when applying). Works very well!
BalasHapusI recently bought my dream dinning table. Beeswax was suggested to me to treat the dining table to prevent water/wine stain. I went with Daddy Van's All Natural Beeswax because of the lavender scent. The product was shipped very quickly through Priority mail. The scent is lovely. This beeswax has worked really well on my new dining table so far. I love it so much that I tried it on my beatup coffee table that I was about to throw out. It worked like magic. I feel like I've brought my coffee table back to life with this product. Instead of throwing out the table, I went on repairing the scratches with a wood marker and ploishing with the beexwas thoroughly. It looks like new again!
BalasHapusI orered this product last week and love it! Went on smooth and gave my furniture a wonderful glow. My furniture hasn't looked this good in years. I will definitely be back for more.
BalasHapusLoved the product. I used it on an old antique piece that I thought I was going to have to refinish. The walnut finish went from looking dry and dull to lustrous and rich. I would certainly recommend the product to a friend.
BalasHapusBeeswax is the choice of furniture restorers and antique dealers everywhere. The finish lasts much longer than petrochemicals and the shine cannot be beat. Also unlike petrochemical waxes, beeswax does not attract dust. This wax costs more, but in the long run it is more economical than the synthetics.

BalasHapusSmells great upon application with no lingering odor. Applies easily and buffs out nicely. Great price and great product. A much smoother application than your typical"paste" wax.I'm glad I came across this wax on Amazon.
BalasHapusLove this furniture polish. No harsh chemicals, wonderful soft lavender scent, goes on smoothly and buffs to a nice warm glow.
