Howards Restore a finish- anyone tried?

Register to hide this ad
I like their Feed-N-Wax a lot, but the claims on the Restor A Finish can say "Eliminates White Heat Rings and Water Marks", among other things, and I say bullshit. Didn't do squat for me.
 
I've used Howards Restore-a-Finish frequently, and it definitely gets rid of WHITE water marks. Nothing can get rid of black water marks (mildew/mold/rot).

Definitely VERY GOOD at blending out small scratches. Virtually invisible afterwards. Used it on quite a number of speakers, including JBL L100s, EPI, Advent, etc...

Regards,
Gordon.

Purex / water 50/50 using a Que tip or the like. . . You might have to carefully scratch the surface before the bleach then be sure to rinse it carefully to neutralize the bleach. . .Bleach kills mildew and it will usually bleach it out (the spot)

I wish I had your touch Gordon. I've tried it on a number of projects without success. I'm sure I still have some around I'll have to give it another try.

I've switched to Watco teak Oil, seems to work much better, stay with a neautral tone, it can darken the wood some, Dave.
