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!

Amazing stuff. Easy to build. Only need a tiny bit for great coverage

I’ve been doing some etching on glass using the armour product which works well . I bought the silver and gold buffer just to add a little glintz to the finished article and it didn’t really work for me. I am new to this product so I may have to try it out a few more times but since it takes so long to do the etching - ruining the finished look with patch colour is a waste of time and money for me . I wish I could’ve have just bought small sample pots first to try out as I certainly wouldn’t have gone ahead to pay for a larger more expensive tube that I now don’t use . Again this may just be me but using it well enough . Maybe I’ll use it for another art project in the future

Excellent product

Goes on easy on any surface good stuff

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

Can wipe off so it’s not long lasting.
