What Customers Are Saying

The Minwax Polyshades product has received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to apply and liked the color options, resulting in a nice, glossy finish. However, several users reported issues with uneven coverage, streaking, and difficulty achieving an even finish. Some also complained about the strong odor and long curing time. Overall, the product seems to work well for some users but can be challenging to apply properly, especially for more complex projects.
