Would RecommendPurchased the golden oak to restore the sheen on our cabinets. They are 20 years old and now look much younger! Not perfect but a good job and easily put on with a soft cloth over polyurethane.

Love This Product!
Would RecommendI used this for the first time about 15 years ago (2005) when we were getting ready to sell our house. We had very cheap cabinets so I decided, why not? I was so impressed with the results that I use it on my higher quality cabinets about once or twice a year. It wipes on very easily and you see instant results. I would highly recommend this product!
