Howard ProductsHoward Restor-A-Finish Golden Oak RF3016 Restore The Original Finish Remove Heat and Stain Marks on Wooden Furniture 473ml

All the restor a finish products are amazing and my to go to not just to restore but to stain as well. Wonderful colour and coverage, allowing the natural wood grain to show through

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.

I've cleaned the wood with water only. Then applied the liquid with kitchen towel. I've left it for 30 min. Then I wiped off exces with a fresh kitchen towel. The results are fantastic.It did not mask small scratches though. They are still visible.The tin is 470 ml only but I've used tiny bit of it for table top.I hope my review and photos were helpful 👌

Was really sceptical about this product, i have old solid oak furniture that ha taken many years of battering by cats (and kids/grandkids) and i had said this summer we would strip them and redo them but really concerned about removing the aged look and making them look too new, wood was dry, scratched, faded and just looked dull and tired, seen this product and thought I'd give it a go..What can I say .. WOW... brilliant, quick and simple to use and the results are amazing, did two huge cabinets, a smaller cabinet and a nest of tables and still have over half the tin left (the larger tin) highly recommended

I've never used any product like this before and am a complete amateur. However bought this sturdy oak table and chairs from FB Marketplace. Seller said it was in perfect condition. As it was stored in a shed with the chairs and it was dark when we collected it, you really couldn't see how badly watermarked and scratched it was. Then I got it home. Was not happy to say the least. Did some research and bought this along with the wax. What a difference! Looks almost brand new. Just waiting for new seat covers now. One happy bunny 🐰

I know this is a good product but regret this did not work for me . Tried on a 1925 Hmv Gramophone oak finish. Quite poor results. I did rub the cabinet down, de -greased & water washed. Of course there may have been other previous products on the cabinet not removed. I can not criticize when i only used it once on one cabinet. The company are very helpful . Slightly difficult to decide what colour to choose

Re-finished a solid oak table yesterday which was very damaged with scratches, water and white rings. I tried to use this product to try and correct the damage without stripping the wood. However, the damage to the wood was bad and this product struggled to fix it, so I ended up sanding down the table and removing the damage this way then applied the product afterwards. After using this I used the orange oil wax from the same range. The product left the table looking brand new with a beautiful shiny finish and a gorgeous rich colour. Very reasonable price too.A second hand un-loved piece of furniture has been transformed!!Like I say, the product may be good to use on minor damages but it struggled to shift the major damages this time. However, the finish made up for it!

It does what it says - restores furniture. Leaves a nice glossy shine. Some superficial marks disappear but others remain. I don’t have the time at present to use wire wool to get rid of deeper marks.
