Would RecommendThis product is easy to apply and hides worn-off finsh pretty well. I ended up doing the whole table top, rather than just the worst area as I originally planned. I could probably make it look even better with another application. Much easier than stripping, buffing, etc.

One step finish. ???
I thought the product covered the scratches very well however the supposed satin finish finish was not up to what I expected. It was extremely flat. Now it will be necessary to buy a wax and refinish piece I was working on.

Amazing and easy
Would RecommendI bought this to try to revive and old headboard. Worked so great! I ended up using it on a child’s rocking chair and a plant stand. I would recommend this product. I bought the walnut finish. Used it on three very different types of wood and am very pleased with the results.
