What Customers Are Saying

The Minwax Polyshades product received mixed reviews. Many customers praised its ease of use and all-in-one stain and polyurethane solution, highlighting the great color selection, even application, and fast drying time. However, some reported uneven coverage, blotchy results, and difficulty applying it smoothly. A few felt the product did not perform as well as applying stain and polyurethane separately. The product seems to work well for some applications but may require more skill and care to achieve the desired results compared to traditional staining and finishing methods.

Okay product

Would Recommend

This is a great product but love the look of satin better than the gloss.

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.
