Great Zebrite replacement
I stripped a Victorian iron fireplace and wanted to finish it with Zebrite until I found it was no longer made. This paste is the ideal substitute leaving a lovely dark grey, with graphite highlights when polished up. Can be polished up or left as a flatter, darker grey finish.Read full review

Supposed to be black
But it’s not, it’s a grey coloured finish. Not anywhere near as good as the old Zebrite, which was black. It’s also very runny, more liquid than paste. Poor product, I won’t purchase again.

DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN OR IN THIS CASE TUBE !
This is the second one I have got . It leaves a lovely satin black finish on my stove . A tube will last a few years as you only apply sparingly .

Restored a rusty fireplace
I bought a really rusty old fireplace for my bedroom, as I wanted to restore a missing feature from my period house. The ones in good condition were out of my price range. I opted for a rusty one and a tube of this Stovax polish.
The rusty fireplace was transformed into a beautiful feature in only a couple of hours.
I removed the rust with some wire wool and then applied two coats of the polish and buffed it.
The colour is definitely not black, it's graphite/gun metal. I really like it.Read full review

Brilliant
Comes up grey/silver colour, but looks like new and feels nicer to the touch. It seems it can be used inside and out.
I used a whole tube on a small log burner......but I do tend to get a bit carried away, so half a tube should do a log burner.
The graphite also works well as a lube on the hinges, and any other moving parts.
It washes off hands easily.Read full review

Used mountains of this restoring old fireplaces and stoves.
Used mountains of this restoring old fireplaces and stoves. Excellent finish every time. Apply with cloth, buff in, leave, soak used cloth in water and dispose of safely, get some old newspaper and buff it up once cured for a traditional finish. Use a bit of box cardboard in your offside hand to mask off painted areas from the graphite when applying and buffing to ensure a professional finish. If you're fitting an old fireplace insert into the wall coat the back of it with this prior to installing in order to prevent corrosion.Read full review

Excellent finish
It does a great job easy to apply with good coverage of surface rust and discolouration.

Stove polish
This is by far the best polish I have ever used, we used on our tired looking wood burner I polished in with a cloth (you only need to use small amounts) and really worked it in to every corner only using a little not loads and loads and having it dripping in polish, had a fire and no unpleasant smells or fumes as other polishes leaveRead full review

Super stuff
I had a water leak which left stains on my new multi fuel burner. Storax grate polish is the only thing which covered or removed it . I am so pleaded and it doesn't smell when you light the burner after it has been used unlike other productsRead full review
