It works, using a very fine steel wool to apply the Restore finish the scratches surfaces improved with a bit of a sparkle

es casi como volver a barnizar y fácil de usar

Recientemente probé el HOWARD RF9016 RF3016 Restor-A-Finish en color cereza sobre un mueble antiguo y debo decir que estoy impresionado. Este producto realmente restaura y acondiciona la madera, e hizo que pequeños rayones y marcas desaparecieran casi mágicamente. El proceso de aplicación fue fácil y el acabado se secó con un mínimo de residuos, dejando la pieza brillante y nueva. Antes de usar Restor-A-Finish, usé lana de acero fina y un paño de microfibra para eliminar algunas marcas y gotas de pintura rebeldes, y la combinación de los dos realmente hizo maravillas para el aspecto general de los muebles. Si bien no curó por completo los rasguños profundos, definitivamente hizo mucho para salvar esta vieja pieza y devolverla a la vida. En general, recomendaría encarecidamente el HOWARD RF9016 RF3016 Restor-A-Finish a cualquiera que busque restaurar y rejuvenecer muebles viejos. Es un producto fácil de usar que ofrece excelentes resultados.

Super easy and quick to apply - I did it with fine steel wool and marigold on, just rubbed it in and dried it off and it made such a difference, no sanding necessary. Note: please do it in a well ventilated area, as I didn't and got light headed fast

My kitchen cabinets, made of cherry plywood, are about 50 years old. They were in such horrible condition that I was thinking of painting them. There were large areas of that were missing not only the surface finish, but even the stain. In other words, they were down to bare wood in spots. I panicked when a realtor made an appointment to evaluate my house the next day! I wasn't sure if Howard's Restor-a-Finish would work after watching a YouTube video called "Where Restore-A-Finish works best and where it will not!" That video states that it will only work on shellac or lacquer finishes. It says it won't work on polyurethane or polyacrylic finishes and that the test for those finishes is to apply some alcohol to the finish and rub it with a swab---if the color comes off, Restor-a-Finish WILL work on it. I did that test and no color came off. I decided to proceed anyway, testing Restor-a-Finish on the the back of a door. That went well, so I applied it to all 14 cabinets and 6 drawers. The result was amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes. The parts that were worn down to bare wood were about 75% improved---not perfect, but much, much better. The remainder, where the finish was worn but the color was still there, were 100% better. The sheen is a pleasant sort of "egg shell," not flat but not too shiny either. The realtor didn't notice anything amiss with the cabinets! I was lazy and didn't even wash the cabinets before starting. They still came out great. The best part is that the whole job took less than one hour! I don't know how this product works, but it does. It's like magic. One caveat: it smells pretty bad, so do open a window, but the smell disappeared quickly after the job was done. I spilled some on the floor tiles and it wiped up easily. Definitely one of my best Amazon purchases. It saved me a huge amount of money and/or time and probably added to the value of my house.
