Restor-A-Finish, 16 Fl oz, Neutral

This is the best furniture polish. Easy to apply, great finish and no order. My furniture looks brand no ew and got rid of little scratches.

Nothing except total refinishing will make old, scratched, damaged furniture look new. But some products have the ability to make it look really good, and this one of those products. I used the suggested 0000 steel wool pads and poured the restorer on the pad. Wiping with the grain of the wood, applying various amounts of pressure depending on the severity of the damage. Once the first round was applied and then wiped off with a clear cotton cloth, I waited 30 minutes and repeated the process. Then did it again a third time. The product really works well, but again, it's no miracle worker. Several thoughts on the product. First off if the finish is chipped or gouged to bare wood, this will not improve that area. You need a furniture color pen to darken the wood, or use a filler and then a furniture pen and blend the area to match. Also start with a light color restorer, (I used the Golden Oak), and if that doesn't work as well as expected you can also go to a darker shade, but you can't go from dark to light. Finally the rags you use as well as the steel wool will be hazardous due to the solvent they retain. Rags with solvent can self-combust so please dispose of them properly. I suggest either soaking them in water before placing them outside in a closed garbage can or in a metal can with the lid tightly closed. I usually have a few empty paint cans from a big box store just for such purpose. The photos speak for themselves. A good product for easy refinishing to a much better finish.

This was easy to use and my kitchen and bathroom cabinets turned out great. I purchased disposable work rags since using microfiber or other reusable materials aren't a good idea for a flammable product. I wore gloves and had all windows and doors open, so the area was well ventilated. I like this product and recommend it.

I’m honestly impressed with this product. I used Restor-A-Finish on an antique piece that had a lot of faded areas, scratches, and years of wear, and I wasn't expecting such dramatic results. It brought much of the wood back to life, blended in small imperfections, and restored the richness of the finish without having to completely strip or refinish the majority of it. It was easy to apply, and the transformation was almost immediate. The piece looks refreshed while still keeping its original character and patina. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to revive older wood furniture without a full restoration project. The top of the piece had many marks and large imperfections i did not expect the Restor-A-Finish to magically fix, but I tried it out of curiosity figuring I'd still need to fully refinish anyway. The marks are definitely there, but the wood looks so healthy I might just leave it. I applied using #0000 steel wool and followed treatment up with Howard Feed-N-Wax to seal it in and continue feeding the starved wood.

There are very few products that deliver exactly what the description or ad says. But this is one of those products. We have a 20 year old golden oak coffee table that was not waterproof finished and over the years showed wear, scratches and lots of white water spots or drink spots. I bought the Howard Restor-a-finish thinking what the heck I might try it and i’monly out $10 if it doesn’t work and I toss the table or have strip the whole thing. Amazing one wipe and the spots and uneven color was gone instantly. Now I thought too good to be true and as soon as the surface dries the spots will be back, but I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. The table looks like new and a keeper. Totally surprised this stuff really works. One caution to read the instructions and warnings carefully. I left the table outside for many hours and put the table in a bathroom with the exhaust fan until the fumes evaporated completely.

I had milky white stains from spilled rubbing alcohol on a solid dark Mahogany bed . Which I thought was ruined. I applied this product with a paper towel and nothing happened But when I applied it with 0000 steel wool , Magic the stains disappeared. It was very easy and the original wood color came back without any blemishes. I can't believe it works so well. Another review said it had an odor but i found it not bad at all and whatever there was quickly disappeared. I can't wait to try the Howard's feed n wax

Really brought out the finish on my 1939 zenith upright radio, highly recommend

Overall I think its a good product. I did have some issues getting it to cover a few light spots on a table top which I will need to buy regular stain and try to get it covered. On a scale of one to ten I would give it an 8 for coverage. It cleans up easy and besides the few spots on the tabletop it brought most of it back to life again. Good price over buying stain and less work to complete.

I refinish / restore furniture. This product is a saviour. Recently restored a globe Wernicke bookcase that was in rough shape but the exterior just needed the finish to come back to life. I used restore finish on the exterior finish and the interior side and back wall, it kept the charm and originality but polished it up.

Really easy to use and great result with minimal effort.

I ordered this because I had 2 tables I was not able to refresh, tried multiple waxing products to revive them. Used this, was easy to use and did not take much prep or time. Just needed to wipe the product on and then wipe excess off. Removed the water stains I was struggling with and that dry look. Leaving with a rich and saturated finish. Not dark as I expected (but I had only done 2 quick applications).
