## Overview

Available in nine colors, it revives wood finishes quickly with a simple wipe-on, wipe-off method, preserving the original finish and authenticity without stripping. Trusted for over 40 years by professionals and homeowners alike, it removes heat rings, watermarks, sun fade, smoke damage, and oxidation, making it the ultimate wood restoration solution.

## 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.

Review: Not worth, no use - Don't buy clear finish, really not worth. May be stainer mixed will work, but not sure.
Review: Howard's restore is a fabulous product. Saves having to repaint timber furniture and cupboards. The restore brings it up like new great value and easy to apply

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which color should I get if I have dark expresso color wood?**
A: Their Ebony Brown shade is ideal for modern Espresso finishes.  I've used it to dramatic and fantastic effect.   Great stuff!

**Q: what to use to clean wood first and then after the application of restor a finish**
A: I dust first. If it's really bad, I use Howard OrangeOil Wood Polish first. The Restore-A-Finish actually cleans as you use it.

**Q: Would you recommend this color for a teak dining table? I'm not sure if the other finishes would work better.**
A: I wouldn't, I would go darker on teak.  This stuff does not really add any color like a stain would.  I have used golden oak for kitchen oak cabinets, and dark oak for 25 year old Minwax 230 Early American stained oak trim, and cherry for an antique cherry dininig room table and they all did not "darken" anything.  This stuff isn't a stain and it should only restore any mis-colored spots, if its a dark teak -I would use the dark oak.

**Q: Where can I see samples of the colors of this product?**
A: On the website

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by W***W on 9 October 2024*

After being recommended this by a friend. I just had to try it. The speakers cabinets in the photos were made in 1980, and needed to be restored. Enter Restor a Finish, a product that works wonders on old dried out veneer or real timber. I used a micro fibre cloth and a couple of dabs, then rubbed it into the grain and watched Restor a Finish do its magic. It took approximately 10 minutes to do the entire speaker and WOW what a result. Rub on then rub off....It is that easy..... Do yourself a favour and give this a go. There is a reason why the product has been around since 1969. Highly Recommended.
