Welcome to:
U-Beaut Polishes
ARTICLES FROM UBEAUT(Neil)

Hopefully over time this blog will build to be filled with lots of very informative, interesting and helpful post, photos and videos. Not just on our U-Beaut products but finishing and associated products in general.

Before we go any further lets look at, and explain, the name U-Beaut Polishes ®:

U-Beaut

• Pronounced: u (as in you) and beaut as in beautiful or beauty 
• IT’S NOT: ub-e-at or u-beat or u-but, u-boot or u-brute”
• U-Beaut: Australian slang. Abbreviation of: “You little beauty!” “You bloody beauty” similar to “You little ripper!”
• Meaning: superlative, amazing, wonderful, outstanding, distinctive, excellent, magnificent, marvellous,  great, exceptional,  dazzling, first-class, first-rate, superb, the best, etc, etc, etc.

OK that’s the U-Beaut bit out of the way now for the other bit:

• The name is U-Beaut Polishes NOT: Polishers or Polishing
• Polish or polishes are the products we make….
• Polishers are the people who use the polishes we make.
• Polishing is what polishers do with the polish we make for polishing wood.
• Finally: Our polish is proudly all Australian. It is not Polish and not made in Poland.

FINAL WORD on the name:
U-Beaut Polishes was originally called SHITHOT POLISHES because I gave some of our new friction polish, abrasive wax and woodturners wax-sticks to my adult students to take home and try out at their leisure. When they came back to classes the following week I asked what they thought and the overwhelming response was Shit-hot so Shithot Polishes was born and named. Bear in mind they were all Aussie blokes and that name is about as Aussie as any fair-dinkum Aussie could get.

However….. and yes, there’s almost always a however. After a number of tries to register the name and the same amount of knockbacks I decided to change it to U-Beaut Polishes. But all those in the know still reckon it’s Shithot. 

So with all that out of the way…. Welcome to U-BEAUT POLISHES Articles, Info, Help, etc. 

Cheers

PS: We still make the SHITHOT WAXTIK.
Pronounced by some as Shith’ot Waxteek, Sheeth’oh Waksteek, and She’dot Waxtik

Hehehe
