Howard Restor-A-Finish Cherry RF9016 Restore The Original Finish Remove Heat and Stain Marks on Wooden Furniture 473ml

Brilliant product ! My oak dining table had several water marks on plus a really noticeable mark where acetone had been spilt. This product + a little elbow grease had my table looking like new . The acetone mark didnt cover straight away however I went over it with the product on some super fine wire wool rubbing in the grain direction and it completely disappeared! Wish Id found this product earlier 😃

This is the second time I have purchased this product. My real wooden kitchen units fade after prolonged exposure to steam and water but this product brings them back to their original full colour. You just need to apply a small amount to a soft cloth and rub into the wood. It dries quickly, provides good protection for your wood and is reasonable value for money. You may need to apply a second coat if your wood colour is highly faded. The finish is excellent.

works well,the tin will last for ages.

Bought this to help with an old solid wood chest of drawers. The top had many ring marks from makeup and perfume bottles. With no prep ie sanding I rubbed the solution in with a cloth. Whilst if looking directly over the top you can see the rings albeit they are blended in and darkened in colour, viewing from an angle is a great improvement. Top marks therefore for enhancing with minimal effort.

I bought this in the Golden Oak Shade as I have various pieces of oak furniture, all of which have taken a beating over the years from kids not using coasters (grrrr!). It worked so well, far better than I’d hoped. The water marked areas were very noticeable, but after using this all have gone. The only one that I had an issue with was on a coffee table where the wood stain made the mark darker than the rest of the table. However, I believe this was due to the original finish of the table. Rather than it being a wood stain finish it is more of a coloured varnish which didn’t penetrate the wood. When I applied the product to the water mark it stained the wood darker relative to the rest of the table. That being said, I have since reapplied it and it has evened the colour out somewhat so I’m satisfied with that. The product itself comes in a can with a childproof cap & after removing that there’s a further plastic bung (?) which is a bit fiddly to pop out. It’s very thin too, so care needs to be taken when applying it to your cloth. I’ll definitely buy this again for regular maintenance of my wood as it’s the best product I’ve tried for restoring and maintaining my furniture.

Really easy to use and did the job on a second hand wooden bed frame with dints and scratches, looks wonderful. Did use another product wood filler which completed the job perfectly. Wish I had a before pic to show what a good job it’s done. Dries quickly, thick but malleable consistency, fills the dents easily. Good value For money, great range of colours. Smell strong but pleasant.

This product has a huge number of reviews, the majority being positive: which is why I gave it a try. However, it did not work out for me. It purports to be a product that requires no stripping of existing wood coatings. However I have some significant water damage to wooden cabinet doors that has darkened over time, leaving black flecks in the wood grain. So, I opted to first sand my cabinet doors down thoroughly to remove as many of the blackened flecks as possible. Not everything could be successfully removed. After applying this product, as per the instructions, the natural grain of the wood was enhanced... but so was every single imperfection and discolouring that remained in the wood. In my case the cabinet doors looked better before the application of this coating. Even with the recommended wax finish it still left the doors looking really bad. But this was definitely down to the poor condition of my doors, so I haven't given the product a minimal rating. It probably works well with light damage or discolouration to existing surfaces. I certainly achieved nothing remotely close to some of the spectacular results that others have demonstrated in photos alongside their reviews. But for the cost I thought it was worth the try. Will be replacing all my doors with new ones instead. In case it's the sort of thing that concerns you, I would recommend downloading and reading the product's datasheet before buying (especially if you intend to use it on a surface like a kitchen cupboard or anything else you might touch and then subsequently handle food) because it contains one or two known carcinogens as well as chemicals that cause birth defects and reproductive issues.

Excellent stuff Renovated a table easily with good results. Just a quick clean and two coats and sorted. No need to strip ss it says on the tin

Volgens ons is het een soort olie want het doet niet wat er gepromoot wordt. We hebben het meerdere malen geprobeerd maar het werkt niet. Jammer

Easy to use, good colour and sheen. It does mask the scratches efficiently

de momento el acabado mejoro mucho, no se si con el tiempo volvera a su estado de antes, pero al aplicarlo el cambio es muy notorio, deja una apariencia como de nueva, era una puerta

Lässt sich sehr gut verarbeiten und pflegt das Holz außerordentlich

It revives the furniture appearance but won’t hide scratches Shipping was disappointing as it took a month to receive it with multiple delays notifications
