Ratings & Reviews for Howard Restor-A-Finish Oil-based Walnut Semi-transparent Satin Interior Stain ( 1-pint )

Good product

Worked very well with small scratches and heat spots. Also, helped make larger damage look better but did not completely refinish. Very pleased overall and recommend for stop gap until children are older and complete refinish wouldn’t be a waste.

Great stuff

Really worked well to restore paneling and kitchen cabinets. Covered lots of scratches. A little goes a long way. Glad we purchased this.

Had my doubts.

I pirchased a chair that had been sitting in a barn for years. After trying vingar, soap and water, i was getting annoyed. The chair was looking worse. I bought this in desperation. Holy cow! I was NOT ready for the results. It cleaned, and shined. I was amazed at how well it worked

Consistent results

I've used this product several times and am satisfied with the results.

Magic!

My bathroom vanity looked worse for the west and it’s not even old! It was stained a. shade the manufacturer called cinnamon. There were wear marks pretty much all over- front of doors, edges, etc. I purchased Restore A Finish in Mahogany. All I did was use a rag and wipe a little of the restore on and it was magic! My vanity looks better than new now! I little goes a long way too! Definitely recommend this product! Gotta love it when you find a product that actually works!

This stuff is awesome!

I used to use Old English to touch-up scratches on furniture, now I use Restor-A-Finish. Note: do NOT use polyurethane over this product. You'll need to use a shellac, and THEN you can use polyurethane, or you can simply use a wax over the Restor-A-Finish to make it water resistant and prevent the wood from drying out.

Awesome product

This is a quick, inexpensive way to restore scuffed, faded, water stained wood. I am so impressed with the results! I used Dark Walnut in the attached photo.

This stuff is amazing!

I don’t know how I haven’t used this product before! This is amazing. I love vintage furniture, sometimes they need some TLC. With less than an hours work, you can transform a piece back to its former glory! Worth it. I used an extra fine steel wool or soft cloth with this product, then follow up with the feed-n-wax after to seal the finish.

Amazing!! Saved so much money

Great product. Will take out minor scratches and even help reduce some of the big ones. Polish is immaculate. Brings back wood furniture to a nice finish. Try to get a similar color coat as the wood your using it on, also I used the walnut version on some lighter woods and it did just fine. Restored over 10 chairs, a dresser, and 2 desks with this. Still have a 1/4 bottle left. Well worth the money.

Absolute magic!

Our cabinets are 20 years old but still in great shape, just looked dry. I did some research and came across this. They look so much better!! I cannot get over how well this works and how easy it was! 1 can goes a loonnggg way! The pictures do not do it justice.

Works Beautifully

I recently purchased a set of three mid century modern bookcases. They had some scratches and faded areas. I found the color of this product that closest matched my furniture color and applied it as directed. This product brought back the luster and shine to the finish and the scratches and worn places are blended in. This product works!!!! My bookcases look amazing. I highly recommend!!!

Adds luster immediately to woodwork

Our cabinet doors, door trims, and baseboards were all very scratched. This made them look gorgeous! Very easy to apply, using super fine steel wool and a cloth.
