RUB 'N Buff - Grecian Gold, VWARNB10

This is my third order, 2 in this shade of Grecian Gold and 1 in another shade of gold.If it’s your first time receiving this, you may be taken aback a how small the tube is, but let me reassure you, a little goes a very long way.The first tube I purchased in a different shade worked phenomenally, with no issues, however both tubes of this shade had liquid coming out at the start. I wouldn’t have known any difference if I’d not used it before and it took a few attempts to find a solution to the liquid, which was I presume the product separating. My first attempt was to put some in a small airtight container and mix it, but it went dry overnight. The second attempt I turned the tube with the cap facing up for 24hrs and neither of these worked. Lastly and finally, I literally spent 10 minutes shaking the tube until what felt like my arms would drop off, this thankfully worked!Im an avid crafter, DIY’er and upcylcer, therefore I use a lot of paint, which requires prepping the item, primer, multiple coats of paint & varnish and of course waiting for each coat to dry! It’s a lengthy and costly process.I came across this product whilst watching a tutorial and thought I’d give it a try and it’s my all time favourite product! It’s so easy to use, apply a little with a cloth or a brush, then buff until shiny and it’s completely dry immediately, doesn’t chip, water resistant etc. It’s magic! It gives a far better finish in my opinion than spray paint or ordinary paint, as there’s no brush strokes or drips to worry about.As you can see from my photos I’d spray painted a desk chair legs in gold, but I felt it looked cheap, plus it was flaking in places and it had hairs and dust dried in to the paint. It was super easy and fast to apply the new products.The wax doesn’t adhere to every surface without using a primer unfortunately. It applies to metal easily and most plastic surfaces too. I found shiny plastic needs a primer first, so it can grip the surface. It also applies to wood too, with the exception of plywood or other highly porous surfaces-you need a waterproof primer such as a varnish first or the wood soaks in the product no matter how many coats.It has incredible longevity, I’ve wiped it with water and various cleaners and it doesn’t budge. Ive bent mailable items with no cracking. Again, it’s magical!Probably my main issue is finding the correct shade out of their range of gold’s as the online swatches look quite different-plus your item’s colour or material type determines the colour too to a certain extent-the item in my photo has gold paint underneath, some parts required a primer which was brown. The first shade i bought turned out to be leaning towards a rose coloured gold and this one leans towards the antique gold shades. You may need to buy multiple shades to find your preferred one.Tip: With regards application, I tried various methods and found a multi sized pack of cheap oval toothbrush style makeup brushes to be best. The product bristles are soft and very dense, keeping the product on the surface of the brush, ensuring you use less product and it glides on with no brush marks. It’s also easy to buff with the same brush. Your brush will go hard if you leave it out for a while, as you’d expect, but simply buff if gently against a corner of something and it will be ready to use again.Overall, Im in love and it beats painting!

Great product - went on easily and you need very little to change the colour

Superb , really easy to use

I sent for this gold wax to add a few highlights to a set of drawers which I had just painted. It was just the right shade of gold - not to brassy or too antique. Takes a minute or two to work out how best to smear it on - in the end I just used my finger. Dries quickly and burnishes up to a nice glow. Pleased with the result.

Really good if you don’t want to paint a faded trim used it on. Victorian clock face surround. Looks great and not an obvious repair

perfect

Good colour and gpod thickness but very small amount for price

This little tube goes a long way and it’s fantastic for light switches to make them look fab,little tip,I painted mine black then applied rub and buff,you don’t have to but it looked better

Produit tout a fait conforme a mes attentes! Merci :)

It is a very small tube but a little goes a long way. I have covered a large ornate mirror, a serving tray and a large wall decoration and still have almost half a tube left. Love this product!!!

Leicht zu verarbeiten, bei sachgemäße Verarbeitung sehr gute Ergebnisse

Lovely product, alittle goes a long way. Sheens up and stays put.

Very pleasantly surprised!! It is really easy to apply and dries almost instantly. It also washes off easily if you get it all over your hands like I do. It is a very small tube but a little goes a long way! The fragrance is strong so use in a well ventilated area. I wanted a little brass bird but keep forgetting to actually look for one (🤣) so I used this little resin bird from the dollar store and the rub n buff to make my own!
