Expert Tips for Better Results With Gilly's
Prepare before applying. Clean surfaces allow products to perform more effectively.
Choose by material, not appearance. Timber, leather & specialist finishes require different treatments.
Test valuable items first. Restoration projects deserve extra care before full application.
Use controlled amounts. Excess product does not automatically improve the result.
Maintain before deterioration becomes severe. Regular upkeep is easier than major restoration.
Preserve original character. Good restoration respects the material rather than hiding it.
Keep repair colours organised. A prepared repair kit saves time during final installation work.
For smaller maintenance supplies that travel between workshop & site, ▸ Portable Organisers provide practical storage.
