What Customers Are Saying

The Minwax Polyshades product received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to use, with a quick drying time and the ability to provide a stain and polyurethane finish in a single step. They reported achieving beautiful, glossy, and durable results, especially on hardwoods. However, some customers experienced issues with uneven coverage, blotchiness, and the color not matching the can. Others felt the product was either too thin and runny or too thick and difficult to work with. While the product can provide good results when applied correctly, it may require more skill and effort than some customers expected.

Easy tinted poly

Been using this product for a few years now. Provides an easy way to touch up existing poly finishes. Colors are pretty accurate and application is easy. A little pricey but worth it in a pinch.
