What Customers Are Saying
The Minwax Polyshades product has received mixed reviews. Many customers found it easy to apply and liked the convenience of the combined stain and polyurethane. They reported good color results and a durable finish. However, some customers struggled to get an even, consistent application and were disappointed with the final appearance, finding it too glossy or not dark enough. A few customers had major issues with the product, describing it as "gummy", "streaky", and "uneven", leading them to have to redo their projects. The reviews suggest this product can work well for simple home projects, but may not be suitable for more complex or high-quality finishing needs.

Would Not RecommendThe color was all stuck to the bottom and gunky, I was in a hurry so I tried to just use it, The cabinets look ok, some spots look like I missed spots. I also have a inch of product that is not usable, because it's the color and gunky

Junk
Would Not RecommendFollowed directions per can, put on thin and dont wipe. First coat tacky after 12 hours with fans on it. Hopefully this $20 can of garbage didn't ruin my $350 piece of butcher block.

Heavy coverage
Would Not RecommendThis does not give a stain effect. It is closer to a paint wash. It also sort of chipped in areas where it didn't adhere well, but it is effective over old varnish.
