## Description

Product 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: bought new table,somehow see minor scratches in shiny finish. scratches are only in the polyurethane finish not down to wood.would this product help?**
A: Yes, it would be perfect for your situation. 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Your wood furniture needs this.
*by K***T on July 4, 2025*

This stuff is amazing. There are several colors to match different woods. I bought this in the natural neutral. I was surprised at how fantastic this stuff is. Get an old towel, tee shirt, or handicap wipes work really well. This brings dull wood back to life. It makes scratches and dullness a thing of the past. It does not change the color of the wood. It makes look vibrant and new. It’s very thin and not a stain. If you have the walnut color for instance it will be extremely scuttle on pine. Most people would not see the difference. Best restore hack I’ve found.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good on cherry furniture
*by G***K on August 7, 2025*

Good for cheery furniture

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to apply, good results
*by C***R on April 26, 2025*

This product while not a miracle worker, did definitely improve the appearance of my late 80’s golden oak cabinets. I know they are considered “outdated” but we like the look of natural wood. Recently they were looking a little worse for wear, dull and dry looking in spots. In the past I have lightly sanded and brushed on a coat of clear poly with good results. I wanted to find something that didn’t require all that drying time. This fit the bill perfectly. It was very easy to apply & even though it warns about the fumes I did not find the fumes terrible. I did run the ceiling fan and opened a window.I have a smallish L shaped kitchen and the whole project was done in about an hour. It took about half the bottle.This product did well as far as giving it a good shine and evening out the color/tone of my most used cabinets that had worn down dry areas. It did not fix most of the deeper imperfections though (like I said, not a miracle product). But for the money and ease of applying, I would definitely use this product again.
