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.

  • Easy to Use and It Works!
Size Name: 8 oz Color: Neutral
This is a great product for cleaning up wood stains, scratches, and imperfections. I nearly ruined kitchen cabinets by staining them improperly several years ago and the cabinets developed stains that were seemingly impossible to clean with standard cleaning products. The cabinets were stained, waxy, and altogether awful looking. I used the cleaner with a towel and very fine steel wool to easily clean the wood without any sanding. I am very happy with the outcome and my cabinets look near-new. You can see in the before and after photos that the product will not solve every issue but significantly improves the look of the wood in minutes. ... show more

  • Great stuff
Size Name: 8 oz Color: Golden Oak
I used this on my kitchen table and chairs and it did a great job! It's very easy to use and made my furniture look like new. I'll be checking out more products from this company!

  • Very interesting
Size Name: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) Color: Maple-Pine
Definitely helps quite a bit. I didn't get flawless cover up with deeper marks, but it certainly helps with lighter marks and adds a good slick polyurethane to the surface

  • Amazing product!
Size Name: 8 oz Color: Cherry
I was skeptical but bought it anyway figuring that for the price, it was worth a try. We have heirloom cherry furniture (Stickley Cherry Valley) and the table tops were marked with heat and water rings. This product worked wonders -they look almost as good as new.

  • This works
Size Name: 8 oz Color: Golden Oak
I used this product on two cabinets and was amazed at how well it worked. My bathroom vanities were showing some wear on the doors, probably due to moisture and this was a good fix. It doesn't stain your hands, has no strong odor, so if you have a similar problem I recommend you give it a try.

  • Tictoc made me buy it. 🙄 Again.
Size Name: 8 oz Color: Walnut
It's not really all that. You can buy pigmented furniture oils that do the same thing for a lot less. This really only works on very light scratches, so if it sounds too good to be true..... It is.

  • Secret weapon for Wood Furniture
Size Name: 8 oz Color: Golden Oak
Been using Restor-a finish for many years. Love it, as it nourishes wood back to new. Great for family heirlooms, arms on your favorite wood armchair & any wood finish. Little goes a long way.
