Products Restor-A-Finish, Wood Stain to Restore a Finish for Wood Surfaces, Golden Oak, 16 Fl Oz, Pack of 1

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.

I am pressed with the product. It is as described and left all my furniture and projects looking beautiful. I will be buying more but with the feed and wax to go with it.

Overall I think its a good product. I did have some issues getting it to cover a few light spots on a table top which I will need to buy regular stain and try to get it covered. On a scale of one to ten I would give it an 8 for coverage. It cleans up easy and besides the few spots on the tabletop it brought most of it back to life again. Good price over buying stain and less work to complete.

Amazing! I very rarely write reviews, but I had to after using this product. We have 25-year-old oak cabinets that were looking a little worn. We searched Amazon and saw a lot of higher priced iffy products, but decided to try this since it actually said Golden Oak on it. Our cabinets look almost new! This goes on easy, makes the cabinets look great and fixes the water damage and scuffs. It works as described for less than the cost of the "big name" brands. Highly recommend!!

The first two photos are before and the last three are the afters. This product is so easy to use. No gloves, no strong odor and not hard work and really reasonably priced considering how well it works. You simply apply it to the .0000 steel wool pads and follow their instructions (which are basically a one two three). I did this hyge piece in about 2 and a half hours (maybe even less). I then followed up with their Feed and Wax product and you can see the end results are beautiful! I highly recommend this if you really don't want or need to actually strip your piece. At first I thought this would only be a temporary fix, but I did this on Saturday 1/4 and it still looks brand new. I have tried similar solutions but they only hid the damage temporarily (just evaporated) but this really goes into the wood like magic. If you try it, you will not be sorry

This stuff is amazing. No sanding. You’ll be amazed at how scratches will disappear. Almost like re-staining. Easy to apply.

Love this product to repair antique wash stands

I love the product but it arrived without the cap that fits inside the bottle on it I just now got it out to use it so it’s beyond the exchange window. I went to shake it up and it went everywhere. It’s one of the best furniture polish/restore products I’ve ever used it’s just aggravating to not have both parts of the lid.

This is a great product. Used it to freshen up a 25 year old oak bathroom vanity that lost a lot of its lustre. It now looks like new. Highly recommend. Easy to use and definitely a little goes a long way.

Brilliant product. Easy to apply, dries quickly and excellent finish

Me sorprendió gratamente el resultado, lo aplique en unos muebles de madera que el acabado estaba bastante bien sin raspones pero se veían algo sucios un poco descolorido y como que el dueño anterior quiso barnizarlos en algunas una zona sin el cuidado adecuado y sin terminar. Al aplicar este producto se restauro completamente el brillo, se le desprendió el barniz sobrepuesto quedando el acabado original, se le quito lo cenizo y los muebles quedaron como nuevos. El acabado no es aceitoso y no colecta polvo. excelente producto.

Lo mejor que he probado para las maderas, las deja como nuevas muy recomendado, llegó en buenas condiciones

Freshened up my kitchen cabinets and I am pleased with the results. The worn areas were covered up and are only noticeable to those who knew they were there. Some areas are darker than the original shade but still looks better than before. Great product if you want to freshen up you wood in little time for next to nothing.
