Hotspot Stove and Grate Polish Black – Restores Shine, Protects Cast Iron Surfaces, Easy Application, Heat-Resistant Finish, Ideal for Wood Stoves and Fireplaces -170ml

Brilliant product for making your stove look like new again

Really happy with this product. I was originally looking for stove paint, but as most comes in a spray can, and my stove has a back boiler which is plumbed in, I wasn't happy to use a black spray paint in my living room. All the tinned paints I looked at routinely had "peeled off" or "turned white" reviews so I decided to go along the polish route instead.This polish was used on a multi fuel stove (wood & smokeless) that was already fitted when I moved in to my current home. The stove hadn't been looked after by the previous tenant and had loads of missing paint, and some surface rust. I chose this polish as it said it could cover rust.This polish went on really well, and even with the bad condition of my stove, covers really well. All missing paint, and surface rust was covered with very little on the cloth. I think my stove will probably need a few coats to bring it back to what it should be, but this isn't a fault of the polish, just that it the stove was in such a bad state.See images for a before, during and after.After first application with a cloth, I buffed the stove as per instructions, and the stove looked very respectable. First fire and there was no smell at all.A few months on after many daily fires (both wood and smokeless fuel):1. Doesn't smell2. Hasn't peeled or flaked3. Hasn't turned white4. Still looks blackMore than happy to continue using this product, and will probably replenish the stove surface at the end of every season of stove use.Recommended product and will purchase again in future.

It does the trick and the stove looks very smart after use. Others have reported that it is very smoky, I agree but have found that if the polish is applied at least 6 hours before using the stove, there is still smoke, but much less than when applied a couple of hours before lighting. Also, apply it very sparingly - it doesn't need much to do a decent job. The only exception that I have noticed it where there are significant marks on the surface of the stove, it takes a number of spot applications to cover them. Also, the blemishes do reappear after several weeks of use. On the whole, very pleased with this purchase.

Good stuff and the Tin should last for years, just apply with a damp cloth and allow to dry off. Can’t help but think that black shoe polish would do the same job though it’s very similar if not the same 🤔

This is brilliant stove polish,very easy to use.Impressed with the finish,a nice matt black

Great item

Product delivered very quickly. I’ve only applied once and it seemed to do the job.

Easy to apply and effective. Need to add a little water to tin afterwards to keep it moist.
