Rejuvenate Cabinet & Furniture Restorer Fills in Scratches Seals and Protects Cabinetry, Furniture, Wall Paneling

Just used this on some 20 year old light-blonde wood cabinets that came with a manufactured house, so we're not talking great quality. They're in a kitchen that is heavily used, as you can see from the peeling paint on the stove hood next to the cabinets in the photos I posted. In fact, that's why I was refreshing them: a man is coming to replace the hood, and I was embarrassed to have the cabinets looking so dingy.Where the finish on the cabinets was reasonably intact, but looked worn out and faded, this stuff works great. I was really surprised at how much better they looked. On the other hand, if the finish is broken up, you're not going to get great results, because this doesn't dissolve the old finish and spread it around, as some heavier-duty refinishing fluids would. It still improved the appearance of the beat up cabinetry under the sink, but you'll see what I mean in the third photo.For the price, this is a great deal- completed a whole small kitchen of cabinets, 2 chairs, and a 4-chair sized round kitchen table: and have more the half the bottle left. The glove held up well.Best of all, the smell is not too strong, and it drives quickly: about 20-30 minutes.In sum, if your finish is basically intact, this will work wonders. If there are places where it's worn off, you need a stronger product to make it "like new," which I think accounts for the disgruntled and disappointed reviews posted here. They were expecting too much from a refresher product.

I purchased a kitchen set 100% wood table and chairs. After a few weeks the finish on the table wore off and every time a drop of water touched it it would leave a water mark and it scratched very easy. I searched products and tried this . I followed the instructions carefully and added three coats to the table. The shine was beautiful and water doesn't stain. It works great. I'll probably need to redo it from time to time but it's well worth it. I highly recommend this product and will continue to buy it for the future.

This wood gloss works well as a gloss but not really for repairing scratched wood. We have a dining room table with normal wear and tear and hoped this would hide some of those indentations. It doesn't, but it does shine the wood and make it look a lot healthier. Don't expect it to work any miracles, but its great for a quick fix to some older wood furniture.

Wonderful product that does what it claims! I have a lovely mid century modern dining room table that has a veneer top. It had a white heat circle from a hot pot that was placed on it by my too old to know better son, and I was desperate. Found this product with minimal research and liked the price, so took the risk. Easy to apply, but I can see where other reviews claims it streaks. If you apply it not too lightly, not too heavily and wipe with the grain, and then let it dry after your get your best desired effect, I’m sure you will be happy with the results. I noticed a bit of streaking as it was drying but LEFT IT ALONE for a few hours and didn’t add more product. Once it had set, that streaking was gone and I didn’t need to apply more. I think application is key with this product and I will absolutely add this to my arsenal of cleaning and household products.

This is essentially a permanent product. If it lands where you don't want it and dries (quickly) it's pretty much there to stay. It's very shiny but will streak if not applied evenly. And you can't wait too long to wash the applicator (rag, mop, etc.) or it will dry rock hard. As far as filling in scratches, don't expect even minor blemishes to disappear entirely. This product will improve the appearance of some surfaces, but again, it is very shiny. And once you start using it, you sort of have to keep using it.

UPDATE 2/20: I still swear by this stuff! I originally said that it would not work on the cheap breakfast table. I continued to use orange oil on it. However, as time went on, the orange oil only looked good for a few hours. So I decided to use the Dawn water a bit more aggressively to remove as much of the previous oil applications and what little "finish" remained. It took a few washes, but I did get it to a point that I thought the Rejuvenate would work. It did. The table now looks better than it did when new. If you're still on the fence, take the plunge and pick this up!ORIGINAL REVIEW: After reading some of the reviews, I almost bailed out and resorted to my usual lemon or orange oil to polish my kitchen cabinets. I'm so glad I didn't.There is a very small learning curve to gauge just the right amount to use but once you have it figured out, the application is a breeze.I used a microfiber cloth and a Dawn/water mix to thoroughly clean the cabinets. While not necessary, I did let them completely dry overnight before moving on to the Rejuvenate. I did not think to take "before" pics. After cleaning, there was no shine at all on my 15-yr old cabinets.Some reviewers refer to "buffing". You do NOT buff this product. A video I watched likened application to that of paint. One or two swipes, overlapping just a bit, then move on. If you see missed spots, wait 5 minutes (or until dry), then go over the surface again. Don't try to fix it while it's wet.I opted for two coats, which gave a nice satin sheen. The photos were taken at night, with the overhead light on. It appears brighter in the picture than it really is. After the two coats, I still have a little more than half the bottle left.The only piece it did not work well on was a small (cheap) breakfast table. I think there was just enough of a "finish" on it that caused the product to streak. I quickly washed it, again with Dawn/water, and it came off with no problem.I definitely recommend this product over the oil-based alternatives. I am certain that it will not attract as much dust and dirt, since the finish lends for easy occasional dusting.
