## Description

Wax-based graphite polish, giving a brilliant silver-black finish to cast iron stoves and fireplaces.

Review: The best Zebrite replacement - If like me, you miss that Zebrite polish for your Victorian cast iron fireplace, and that lovely leaden silky sheen it used to give, then this is the next best thing. Zebrite contained lead and was taken off the market by the 'elf n safety people. lead is seriously toxic, so I should not be critical, however, Zebrite gave the best looking finish on cast iron. I tried a number of different "grate polishes" after Zebrite disappeared, and to be honest, most didn't seem any better than black shoe polish. Then I found this Stovax product which contains graphite. This gives a very similar leaden sheen to the metal work as Zebrite and my fireplace looks the best its been for 10 years! You need apply only a very small amount with a soft cloth or brush. Leave it to dry for a bit, and then polish off. The finished effect is perhaps slightly lighter in colour than the old Zebrite, but to my eye that is a bonus.
Review: Renovated a victorian grate and over mantle - We have a victorian cast iron grate and over mantle which was showing rust in a number of places. The shelf has seen many years of various objects placed upon it and of course the usual cleaning and dusting. It really need some TLC. We used the product very sparingly and the effect was amazing to say the least. I was very impressed with its ability to cover the rust and give the final finish. It has to be said that this product will give a graphite finish. In other words a silver black look, but as this was the original finish this was what I expected. If you need a black finish this is not the product to buy as when it is polished it becomes the shiny graphite silver look. I have enough left over to repeat the procedure at least another 4 or 5 times. It does go a long way. I applied it with a soft brush and then polished with a cloth. In all I am very satisfied withe product and have no reservations in recommending it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Black grate for woodburners
*by D***. on 18 August 2018*

I was having trouble getting this item, so very glad when I found it available from Amazon. Being fresher than the old tube of black cleaner that I was trying to use, it goes on a lot easier and does a nice job. Success.
