Restor-A-Finish cleans the surface and restores the finish in one step - without removing any of the existing finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRestore It - Don't Strip It!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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 water marks, sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage, and most other blemishes can be quickly eliminated. Before you go to the extreme of stripping it, try restoring it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTreat Scratches, Nicks, and Abrasions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRestor-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 with the grain of the wood. First, determine the pressure you should use on an inconspicuous spot, as the hardness of finishes vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhite Heat Rings and Water and Smoke Damage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply Restor-A-Finish (see above) with steel wool and rub hard enough with the grain of the wood to blend out the white effect. If high gloss finish should appear dull due to the use of steel wool, polish it out with Howard Restor-A-Shine polishing compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRevive Wood Finishes \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe 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 dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRaised and Blistered Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRestore Minor Crazed or Checked Finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTreat Carved Wood\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRestor-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 paint brush or soft tooth brush and wipe off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe 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!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Howard","offers":[{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":53219788620070,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Mahogany","offer_id":53219788652838,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cherry","offer_id":53219788685606,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Golden Oak","offer_id":53219788718374,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Maple Pine","offer_id":53219788751142,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Walnut","offer_id":53219788783910,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebony Brown","offer_id":53219788816678,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Oak","offer_id":53219788849446,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Neutral","offer_id":53219788882214,"sku":null,"price":33.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/1887\/0822\/files\/8_oz_walnut.png?v=1779011881","url":"https:\/\/www.restorerschoice.com.au\/products\/howard-restor-a-finish-473ml-copy","provider":"Restorers Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
