## 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. Set Contains: 1 x can Howard Restor-A-Finish, 473ml or 16oz - Walnut

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you use it on floors**
A: Just used the maple pine and left on a few mins.  did section by section  directions say wipe on and off and that is probably better as the floor is a bit darker HOWEVER.  The floor was wretched with loss of finish in several places.  It is now totally acceptable.  After drying, used paste wax and then buffed.  The floor is a save.  We are selling the house and this saved refinishing

**Q: I spilled acetone nail polish remover on a wooden end table. Could this help it look better?**
A: Hello,Yes, this will make a difference. Can't say it will totally resolve the issue, but it should help.Thank You

**Q: Will this product remove white spots on wood floors**
A: Sorry, I don't know, my house is a 1947 house with original floors. After using this they look beautiful. I used some 1000 grit sand paper in Few spots to remove some blemishes, and you can not tell where I did that. For the price I would try it. A little goes a long way. 10 oz. did a 750 square foot house.

**Q: can you use it on floor**
A: I have never used it on the floor and I don't think it was recommended for the floor.  I would check with Howards directly.  There's the link to their website:  http://www.howardproducts.com/
