FANTASTIC PRODUCT-recommended by antique dealer
Would RecommendI have used this product several times and am always so very pleased with the results! It's easy to apply and truly restores the finish to furniture. A dining room table with a couple of scratches, ring marks and cloudiness from being exposed to the sun were all rectified with this product. ou also don have to be too worried about matching the color stain as it is somewhat translucent. If you're in the general tone of your furniture, it'll work nicely. I recently shopped at an antique store ...
Works great with little effort

I followed up with their "Howard Feed-N-Wax Oil-based Wood Polish and Conditioner'...
