Don't expect miracles, but this product will improve your old worn furniture

I've used this product on countless pieces of furniture with damaged finishes, and it works, but you have to realize a couple points about what it works with and doesn't and the process needed to use it effectively. First, I've found this works with solid wood or something with a real wood veneer, and a stain finish of some sort. If your wood has polyurethane, wax, polish, or anything of the sort, it's not going to work well unless that's removed first. This product needs to "dissolve" and blend the finish already there, it will not really add color. It is not a stain, so the reviews saying there's no color to it are accurate. But this is why it works so well. Stain can be difficult to match and will leave the finish uneven if you spot stain it. Second, the application is simple. I take 0000 steel wool, put some of this on it, and gently rub the spot and some of the surrounding area to pick up some of the existing finish. Make sure the steel wool and the spot you're working remains wet with this product, you don't want to dry rub it. Sometimes it takes more pressure than others, but do not continually rub in the same small spot or it will eventually remove the stain altogether leaving a light patch. Think of it like a blending technique. I've removed light scratches, paint that rubbed off onto the piece, black marring on the wood, light water rings that removed the finish, all sorts of things. Once you've fixed the problematic spots, I'll sometimes very lightly and quickly rub it onto the rest of that side of the furniture to even things out and blend the finish more. Then simply wipe it dry with a clean rag. It's that simple, and I've used this on countless pieces of furniture with success. Finally, if you have really big spots that's missing finish altogether, you may not have as much success. You may need to actually stain it. But don't worry about trying it on large spots, the worst that's going to happen is you won't see a significant improvement. The key is to have enough remaining finish to fill in the gaps.

This is amazing I love this product saves you so much time you never have to strip the old polish you just add this on. Looks like a brand new piece of furniture.

Have used this for years and was glad to find it again. Great product and very much worth the price for easy update.
