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

Excellent product.. it works well for restoration of faded varnish wood.I used it on my antique dining table that had been faded by exposure to the sun. Very good results.

Great quality, easy to use, looks good.

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.

I never review things but I thought I would this time as I can’t believe how effective this was..! I thought I would have to sand and lacquer our mid century sideboard as it had loads of watermarks and water damage, but I applied a coat of this and it was as good as new ! Took all of 5 minutes..We were staring at it for ages, couldn’t believe it had worked so well! 100% recommend!

Phenomenal stuff purchased this in hopes of repairing some very badly faded and scratched mahogany that in places was going Milky white.I was very sceptical but literally it is like miracle stuff. I’ve attached some pictures so you can see for yourself.It was instant, easy to put on didn’t smell that bad, I had a door open and the smell was manageable and after about half an hour the smell had completely gone.it dries in within in about two minutes. I recoated it a second time after half an hour or so as I literally worked round the table I started again and it’s like miracle stuff. Can’t recommend it enough.

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.

Absolutely brilliant products

I've got few pieces that needed restoring ... i didn't want to upcycle them into something new i wanted the antique look. .. i purchased this after reading the positive reviews ... it definitely improves the look and get rids if few marks but definitely not all of them as my photos will show. ... plus I've got old wifi cupboard which didn't absorb the restorer at all but my dining room table looks like new. .. i thinkbit depends on the furniture 🤔...i have to say i don't regret buying it ...
