Materials

  • 1 0000 Fine Steel Wool if deep scratches require it
  • 1 container Howard's Restor-A-Finish color to match furniture
  • 1 cloth soft to add Restor-A-Finish
  • 1 cloth soft to remove Restor-A-Finish
  • 1 piece Brown Craft Paper large enough to protect area beneath furniture
  • 1 pair vinyl gloves
  • 1 container Howard Feed-N-Wax

Instructions

  • Wipe down/clean the piece of furniture that needs restoration before beginning project.
  • Select the color of Howard's Restor-A-Finish that best matches the finish on the furniture you want to restore.
  • Place furniture on brown craft paper and/or towels to protect the area which you are working.
  • Wearing gloves, shake the Restor-A-Finish and add to the 0000 steel wool or soft cloth to apply onto the furniture. A soft cloth often will work if there are not a lot of scratches that need the steel wool to smooth out and get the product into the wood.
    NOTE: DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO WOOD!
  • Apply with the grain of the wood.
  • Immediately use another soft cloth and wipe off the product.
  • If desired, wait 30 minutes and apply Howard Feed-N-Wax to protect the restored finish.

Notes

This process and product are amazing!
If water rings or scratches are a problem and your piece just needs a product to cover and add luster to the finish, this is a perfect solution.
