Description

In 1969, Douglas G. Howard set out to solve this dilemma: what methods can you use to eliminate blemishes in wood finishes and restore the original color and luster without removing any of the existing finish? Unable to find a suitable wood repair kit 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, rejuvenate and penetrate the finish with stain, and leave the original finish intact and the wood polished. 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 Restor A Finish has been a standard in the antique industry. Almost any existing wood tone, from a Birdseye Maple to a Jacobean, can be closely matched using one of the nine available finish colors. After trying it on just about everything with a traditional wood finish, antique dealers, refinishers, and homemakers find it to be a safer and easier alternative to stripping and refinishing. Scratches, oxidation, white heat rings, watermarks, smoke damage, and sun fade disappear, restoring the wood's original beauty. From the Manufacturer 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.

  • Great product
Color: Neutral
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 ... show more

  • Better than furniture polish
Color: Neutral
Got the neutral to try on our dining table. It made the laquered surface shine and refreshed the whole finish. Definitely recommend as a light duty treatment that goes above and beyond to make wood furniture glow again. Was worth it to get it looking so spiffy, good value. Best advice is to carefully read and follow safety precautions, wear PPE. ... show more

  • Effective and impressive with slight imperfections
Color: Neutral
My kitchen table was starting to lose its luster from cleaning it with a sponge. I had a few white ring marks despite using placemats, and I wanted to see if the product was effective. I’m highly impressed with the outcome, but I did not have significant damage on my table and I used the neutral product. I was looking for preservation. I did follow with the Howard honey wax to give it the shine and preserve the luster. I liked what the product provided and it will be easy to maintain. ... show more

  • Have 5 colors, cover anything that doesn’t move!
Color: Ebony Brown
I love these products. Brings some furniture back to life with just a little attention, not difficult to do so. Does not work on everything. Follow up with their furniture wax polish

  • Great product
Color: Walnut
This is a great product. I had water damage on a dresser top, and I thought the dresser was ruined. I poured a little of this product on a pad of steel wool, wiped it into the stain, wiped the excess off with a rag, and the wood looks like new. The little cap on the can was difficult to get off with my big fingers, but Restor-a-finish works as advertised. ... show more
