Howard RF5008 Restor-A-Finish, 8-Ounce, Mahogany

Size Name:8 oz  |  Color:Mahogany In 1969, Douglas G.Howard set out to solve this dilemma: how can you eliminate blemishes in woodfinishes and restore the original color and luster without removing any of theexisting finish? Unable to find an answer at his local hardware store, he wentto work in his garage to create his own product. His goal was to makesomething that would be much more than a surface treatment, yet nothing like astripper or a refinisher. The key was to develop a formula that could cleanand polish the surface, penetrate the finish with stain, and leave theoriginal finish intact. The end result was Restor-A-Finish, Doug Howard’sfirst in what would become a complete line of wood care products. For over 40years, Howard’s Restor-A-Finish has been a standard in the antique industry.Because Restor-A-Finish preserves the original wood finish it also helpspreserve its authenticity and value, whereas stripping the finish mayliterally strip the piece of its value. Almost any existing wood tone, from aBirdseye Maple to a Jacobean, can be closely matched using one of the nineavailable finish colors. Trying it on just about everything with a traditionalwood finish, antique dealers, refinishers, and homemakers have found it to bea safer and easier alternative to stripping and refinishing. Scratches,oxidation, white heat rings, watermarks, smoke damage, and sun fade simplydisappear.
