Howard Restor-A-Finish permanently removes surface scratches, heat rings, water marks and oxidation from almost all traditionally finished surfaces such as French polish, shellac, varnish, and to a good extent nitro-cellulose polishes. It doesn't react perfectly to some modern finishes such as Estapol - though we have had many successes reported from people who have applied it to modern finishes.

Restor-A-Finish works through a process of amalgamation - it becomes part of the already existing finish, and in that process most existing blemishes can be easily blended out.

Restore it - don't strip it! With a simple wipe-on wipe-off process, most finished wood surfaces that seem to need a refinishing job can be completely restored in a few minutes. White heat rings and watermark, sun-fade, oxidation, smoke damage and most other blemishes can be easily and quickly eliminated.

• The ideal solution for treating carved woods. Save many hours of labour by chemically cleaning and restoring the finish on carved pieces of furniture and clocks. Simply apply Restor-A-Finish with a small paint brush or soft tooth brush and wipe off.
• Revive faded finishes. Simply wipe on the desired colour of Restor-A-Finish with a clean cloth. Let it stand for a few minutes, and wipe dry. If you'd like a darker shade, use a darker colour of Restor-A-Finish.
• Raised and blistered finishes. Apply neutral Restor-A-Finish with Superfine Steel Wool. As blisters soften, press down as Restor-A-Finish is applied. Wipe dry., and again later if necessary.
• Restor-A-Finish can also be used to restore minor crazed or checked finishes.

Tip: Be careful to protect fabric, carpets or Linoleum as Restor-A-Finish can leave a permanent stain. If spilling occurs, wash area immediately with straight liquid detergent or stain remover and wipe dry.

Do not apply Restor-A-Finish to the new imitation wood finishes or use it under polyuurethane finishes as a stain!
