Hi all,
I had a need to 'spruce up' out timber outdoor setting that had seen better days, and instead of just buying a polish off the shelf, I decided to DIY and try to develop a homemade polish.
I believe I have come up with something that works really well and provides not only a nice shine, but also protection.
I have been applying this polish to my furniture now once a year and it has kept the timber in good condition.
Before and after pictures below:

I was able to polish our 8-seat table and chairs with one 300ml jar (just). If it is your first application, I recommend that you give it two coats first up.
This polish can also be applied onto existing varnished timber. it provides added protection and with some buffing, a gentle shine.
Also have found it useful to provide some more protection to timber camping items, such as homemade battery boxes or timber kitchens.
Price - $20 for a 300ml jar (plus postage).
PM me for any questions.
