Features

  • Restor-A-Finish is a unique finish-penetrating formula that restores wood finishes while blending out minor scratches, blemishes and abrasions
  • Available in nine colors to match almost any wood finish tone; Neutral, Maple-Pine, Golden Oak, Cherry, Walnut, Mahogany, Dark Walnut, Dark Oak, and Ebony Brown
  • With a simple wipe-on, wipe-off process, most finished wood surfaces that seem to need a complete refinishing job can be restored in a few minutes
  • Removes white heat rings and water marks, sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage and most other blemishes
  • Restor-A-Finish restores the finish without removing any of the existing finish
  • Before you go to the extreme of stripping it, restore it

Description

In 1969, Douglas G. Howard set out to solve this dilemma: how can you eliminate blemishes in wood finishes and restore the original color and luster without removing any of the existing finish? Unable to find an answer at his local hardware store, he went to work in his garage to create his own product. His goal was to make something that would be much more than a surface treatment, yet nothing like a stripper or a refinisher. The key was to develop a formula that could clean and polish the surface, penetrate the finish with stain, and leave the original finish intact. The end result was Restor-A-Finish, Doug Howard's first in what would become a complete line of wood care products. For over 40 years, Howard's Restor-A-Finish has been a standard in the antique industry. Because Restor-A-Finish preserves the original wood finish it also helps preserve its authenticity and value, whereas stripping the finish may literally strip the piece of its value. Almost any existing wood tone, from a Birdseye Maple to a Jacobean, can be closely matched using one of the nine available finish colors. Trying it on just about everything with a traditional wood finish, antique dealers, refinishers, and homemakers have found it to be a safer and easier alternative to stripping and refinishing. Scratches, oxidation, white heat rings, watermarks, smoke damage, and sun fade simply disappear.

  • Excellent Product
Excellent results! I tried this on an old table I recently obtained & the difference it made was incredible. It hid scratches & dings & left the table top with a beautiful shine. You can see the difference in the picture taken when half the table was done for comparison. Overall, a great product that requires very little for results & is at a reasonable price. ... show more

  • Great for scratches and even the deep scratches just blended in.
Great product and stain. It worked amazingly well on my scratched up cabinets.

This is the first wood finish restorer I've ever used that actually exceeded my expectations. Our dining room table looks like it's brand new. Even weeks later it looked just as good. This is going to be my go-to brand from now on for any wood refinishing projects.

  • Average results
I guess I thought this would "fill in" the scratches on my antique entry table. This product is a very thin, semi-tinted, vinegar-smelling substance. It did not fill, or stain the scratches on my table. Tip: after applying this product, you'll need to wipe it down with a clean cloth to remove any residue, or this product will stain whatever you put on top. In my case, I have a table runner across the top of my table, so I had to wipe the piece down several times with a clean cloth each time before I could put my table runner back on. ... show more

  • Decent Job on Bathroom Cabinets
I used this on two 50-year old bathroom cabinets. Works great on the solid wood frames! Does not work well on the plywood doors. Doesn't absorb or cover well. Still much better than they were, though. Just don't expect miracles if used on plywood.

It did it work at all. Did not cover any of the marks. You can't even tell i used it.

  • Terrific stuff.
I've used this product on several pieces of furniture -- a vintage desk and dresser that were scratched up in moving, and a dark counter top bought used from Facebook Marketplace. It's easy to apply and in every case it greatly improved the look of the piece I was working on. Not magic, mind you, but a great result for short money and very little time. ... show more
