Trusted for over 40 years by professionals and homeowners alike, it preserves the authenticity and value of wood surfaces with a simple wipe-on, wipe-off application. ## 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. Review: Good - Great product Review: sehr gutes Produkt - Ich verwende es für unseren Küchentisch und bin begeistert. Es entfernt so ziemlich alles an Verschmutzungen und Ränder, es reizt die Atemwege, deswegen bitte Acht geben. Im Anschluss wachse ich den Tisch und er sieht für lange Zeit wieder wie neu aus. Auch beim Aufarbeiten alter Möbel ist dieser Reiniger zu empfehlen. Ich säubere damit jegliches Holz und nach kurzer Trocknungszeit sieht das Holz fast aus, wie neu und kann weiterbehandelt werden. Fettrückstände werden komplett entfernt, z.B. durch das häufige Öffnen und Schließen mit bloßen Händen/Fettfingern, die schwarzen Fettrückstände werden mit dieser Reinigung komplett entfernt; einfach gigantisch. Auch Wasserränder auf Holz habe ich damit schon beseitigen können. Sie kommen nach längerer Zeit leicht wieder zum Vorschein, einfach die Behandlung wiederholen und fertig.

Remember, however, that as soon as it dries completely, you need to treat the entire surface to a good waxing...this is a restorative and not wood protection. For that, you need a good quality wax. **Q: will this remove softned finish from a pine desk top or watermarks from cabinet doors?** A: It won't remove the finish it wont strip the finish. It will blend with the existing finish and create a Restoration of the existing finish. Watermarks yes....as you read the product description I believe, there is mention of watermarks. I love the product and have used it on Kitchen cabinets, furniture, real wood hardwood flooring. I keep it on hand. I know antique dealers who swear by it. Hope this helps. **Q: Will it work on teak?** A: Didn't work on oak so I don't know. **Q: I have a solid rosewood table i inherited with sun damage / heat stains .:. will this work? color suggestions?** A: I used it on old teak insider our boat cabin. The wood was very dry and dull. I lightly sanded with steel wool, wiped it clean and then applied as directed. It looks much better but it did not correct water marks. On those I tried to add a little stain. Overall our wood looks far better. I bought the mahogany and cherry to test for color. I would try it on a spot that is least visible. It is VERY easy to use! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by S***N on 5 February 2018* Great product ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ sehr gutes Produkt *by P***E on 30 July 2023* Ich verwende es für unseren Küchentisch und bin begeistert.
