Howard Restor-A-Finish Golden Oak RF3008 Restore The Original Finish on Wooden Furniture 236ml

Excellent stuff Renovated a table easily with good results. Just a quick clean and two coats and sorted. No need to strip ss it says on the tin

As good as I hoped it would be! Bought the golden oak for an old oak desk with a great patina that I didn't want to lose. The golden oak made it richer and very slightly darker. Expensive for a UK buyer but it does go a long way as other reviewers have said, so does work out as relatively good value. I follower with the Howard's wax which was recommended

works well,the tin will last for ages.

Phenomenal stuff purchased this in hopes of repairing some very badly faded and scratched mahogany that in places was going Milky white. I was very sceptical but literally it is like miracle stuff. I’ve attached some pictures so you can see for yourself. It was instant, easy to put on didn’t smell that bad, I had a door open and the smell was manageable and after about half an hour the smell had completely gone. it dries in within in about two minutes. I recoated it a second time after half an hour or so as I literally worked round the table I started again and it’s like miracle stuff. Can’t recommend it enough.

This is the second time I have purchased this product. My real wooden kitchen units fade after prolonged exposure to steam and water but this product brings them back to their original full colour. You just need to apply a small amount to a soft cloth and rub into the wood. It dries quickly, provides good protection for your wood and is reasonable value for money. You may need to apply a second coat if your wood colour is highly faded. The finish is excellent.

Excellent product.. it works well for restoration of faded varnish wood. I used it on my antique dining table that had been faded by exposure to the sun. Very good results.

This product has a huge number of reviews, the majority being positive: which is why I gave it a try. However, it did not work out for me. It purports to be a product that requires no stripping of existing wood coatings. However I have some significant water damage to wooden cabinet doors that has darkened over time, leaving black flecks in the wood grain. So, I opted to first sand my cabinet doors down thoroughly to remove as many of the blackened flecks as possible. Not everything could be successfully removed. After applying this product, as per the instructions, the natural grain of the wood was enhanced... but so was every single imperfection and discolouring that remained in the wood. In my case the cabinet doors looked better before the application of this coating. Even with the recommended wax finish it still left the doors looking really bad. But this was definitely down to the poor condition of my doors, so I haven't given the product a minimal rating. It probably works well with light damage or discolouration to existing surfaces. I certainly achieved nothing remotely close to some of the spectacular results that others have demonstrated in photos alongside their reviews. But for the cost I thought it was worth the try. Will be replacing all my doors with new ones instead. In case it's the sort of thing that concerns you, I would recommend downloading and reading the product's datasheet before buying (especially if you intend to use it on a surface like a kitchen cupboard or anything else you might touch and then subsequently handle food) because it contains one or two known carcinogens as well as chemicals that cause birth defects and reproductive issues.

I've got few pieces that needed restoring ... i didn't want to upcycle them into something new i wanted the antique look. .. i purchased this after reading the positive reviews ... it definitely improves the look and get rids if few marks but definitely not all of them as my photos will show. ... plus I've got old wifi cupboard which didn't absorb the restorer at all but my dining room table looks like new. .. i thinkbit depends on the furniture 🤔...i have to say i don't regret buying it ...

Volgens ons is het een soort olie want het doet niet wat er gepromoot wordt. We hebben het meerdere malen geprobeerd maar het werkt niet. Jammer

Lässt sich sehr gut verarbeiten und pflegt das Holz außerordentlich

It revives the furniture appearance but won’t hide scratches Shipping was disappointing as it took a month to receive it with multiple delays notifications

Great shine and long lasting!

Bin absolut begeistert, lässt altes Wurzelholz an uralten Schränken wie neu aussehen, Gerüche sind weg, schmiert nicht und glänzt
