How does it work?

Restor-A-Finish is a unique finish-penetrating formula that restores the original colour and lustre to your finish while blending out the blemishes and minor scratches. Restor-A-Finish cleans the surface and restores the finish in one step - without removing any of the existing finish.

Treat Scratches, Nicks, and Abrasions

Restor-A-Finish works best when applied with a small pad of towelling, or for severe white rings and crazing, with Super Fine (0000) steel wool. DO NOT pour directly on the finish. When using steel wool, always rub it with the grain of the wood. First, determine the pressure you should use on an inconspicuous spot, as the hardness of finishes varies.

White Heat Rings and Water and Smoke Damage

Apply Restor-A-Finish with steel wool and rub hard enough with the grain of the wood to blend out the white effect. If a high gloss finish should appear dull due to the use of steel wool, polish it out with Howard Restor-A-Shine polishing compound.

Revive Wood Finishes

Wipe on the appropriate colour of Restor-A-Finish with a clean cloth. Let it stand for a few minutes then wipe dry. You may be able to darken your finish by applying a darker colour of Restor-A-Finish and leaving it on for a few minutes longer before wiping it dry.

Raised and Blistered Finishes

Apply Neutral Restor-A-Finish (to prevent darkening of wood beyond temporary "wet effect") with steel wool. As blisters soften press down while the Restor-A-Finish is applied. Wipe dry, and again later if the surface "blooms" with excess Restor-A-Finish.

Restore Minor Crazed or Checked Finishes

Apply Restor-A-Finish with Medium Grade (00) steel wool. Rub hard enough to smooth out the finish, periodically checking your progress. Checked or crazed surfaces may absorb an excess of Restor-A-Finish and "bloom out" requiring another wiping later.

Treat Carved Wood

Restor-A-Finish has saved many hours of labour by chemically cleaning and restoring the finish on carved portions of furniture and clocks. Simply apply Restor-A-Finish with a small paintbrush or soft toothbrush and wipe it off.

TIPS:

- Be careful to protect fabric, carpets, and linoleum when applying Restor-A-Finish. It may leave a permanent stain. 

- If spilling occurs, immediately scrub areas with straight liquid detergent or stain remover and wipe dry. 

- Be sure to cover a small area at a time when applying Restor-A-Finish. 

- Always wipe dry. 

DO NOT apply Restor-A-Finish to the new imitation wood finishes or use it under polyurethane finishes as a stain!
