  • 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

  • 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.

  • Mini bottle
This product comes in a tiny bottle, not the usual. It’s sold at the same price as the large bottle sold in stores.

  • Experience from this Restor-A-finish, English Oil and 2 different brands of wax on cabinets...
So yeah I've used a few products to try to "refinish" my orangey looking cabinets/ furniture and I'd like to share my experience. 1. Howard citrus wax in dark oak- while it did darken or make my cabinets look better, it's not easy to use. Like it'd leave streak marks onto the cabinets even I cleaned them thoroughly and wiped the wax into the direction of the wood grain with finest steel wool. So from my experience, that was just a so so product. (3-3.5 stars at most) 2. Fiddes & Son wax in Espresso- MUCH easier to use than Howard citrus wax. Also dries much better and does not leave as much streak mark as Howard citrus wax. It also does not smell bad. The thing is the wax dries really fast and you will have to hurry up and buff. I also discovered my left over half can of wax hardened after some time when I opened it again (yes that was my 2nd can!). But if you want to "darken" your cabinets for a bit, I think this works the best among all products I tried. So 4 stars! 3. English oil for dark wood- very easy to use and smells good. Just wipe it on and it'll cover light scratch marks if you rub it on that area. Also very economical . Doesn't darken wood a lot but I somehow (don't know if it's my illusion) after a few days the wood seems to have darken on my table legs. So for a fast, economical "refinish" I think this fits the bill. I did add protection with Goddard's spray on furniture oil and the cabinets appear to be shiny and nicer afterwards. So 4 stars! 4. THIS product- It stinks but not too bad. The thing is I did notice it works almost the same as English Oil.... so not that big of a difference--- cover light scratches and thats about it. But this product smells worse and costs more. Also if you want to darken your furniture a bit. I don't think this works... English Oil works slightly better IMO. So I kind of regret I tried another Howard product (yes all of their products have excellent reviews though...) Maybe I'm out of luck on this brand? I'd give it 3 stars. ... show more

  • Worked exactly as I needed
I acquired an old cabinet w dark alligator finish. Had lots of scratches n scrapes w a couple of water glass rings. The Formbys Restore a Finish worked miracles! I rubbed it in w 0000 steel wool n voila! It turned out beautifully rejuvenated!

This product brought life back into our cupboards. It helped to remove scuff markings.

  • Fantastic finishing product
I am amazed at the quality this product provides on furniture and cabinetry. Following directions I was nervous about applying it to our dining room table. It turned out beautifully! But there is a mystery to this as well. I refinished the table about 2 weeks ago and there has not been one tiny bit of dust on the surface. I chose to apply this to all our kitchen cabinetry as I sponge the lower units frequently to clean off spills from baking etc. That was 10 days ago. There was one splash mark on the cabinet that lifted off with the finish in perfect condition. I don't know what is in this product but I'm looking at our bedroom suite as my next project. Amazing and I pray this product doesn't disappear off our shelves. Wow and double wow!! ... show more
