Howard RF3016 Restor-A-Finish, 16-Ounce, Golden Oak

Refinished our oak cabinets and they look great!,

Used on my golden oak kitchen cabinets and it made them look new. These cabinets are about 40 years old and they literally look shiny, color restored, and new. I first used krudcutter to remove dirt, paint stains, oil, etc. Then I applied this--just poured some on a rag and wiped it on. Following the directions on the can, I did not apply to the wood directly. Turned out much better than expected. Would definitely purchase again for other faded wood items.

I could not believe my eyes when I finished using this product on our 19 year old meals table and coffee table. They look like new. Using the fine steel wool and the Restor-a-finish all the scratches disappeared. It has been 4 weeks since and they haven't reappeared as I thought they might. Using the Orange oil to clean and the Wax Care to maintain. Love these products.

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.

Good easy to use
