With a unique formula trusted for over 40 years, it removes heat and stain marks, blends out scratches, and restores faded finishes without stripping the wood. Available in nine wood tones, it offers a simple wipe-on, wipe-off process favored by professionals and antique dealers alike. ## Description Product Description In 1969, Douglas G. Howard set out to solve this dilemma: how can you eliminate blemishes in wood finishes and restore the original color and luster without removing any of the existing finish? Unable to find an answer at his local hardware store, he went to work in his garage to create his own product. His goal was to make something that would be much more than a surface treatment, yet nothing like a stripper or a refinisher. The key was to develop a formula that could clean and polish the surface, penetrate the finish with stain, and leave the original finish intact. The end result was Restor-A-Finish, Doug Howard's first in what would become a complete line of wood care products. For over 40 years, Howard's Restor-A-Finish has been a standard in the antique industry. Because Restor-A-Finish preserves the original wood finish it also helps preserve its authenticity and value, whereas stripping the finish may literally strip the piece of its value. Almost any existing wood tone, from a Birdseye Maple to a Jacobean, can be closely matched using one of the nine available finish colors. Trying it on just about everything with a traditional wood finish, antique dealers, refinishers, and homemakers have found it to be a safer and easier alternative to stripping and refinishing. Scratches, oxidation, white heat rings, watermarks, smoke damage, and sun fade simply disappear.

I've used it to dramatic and fantastic effect. Great stuff! **Q: what to use to clean wood first and then after the application of restor a finish** A: I dust first. If it's really bad, I use Howard OrangeOil Wood Polish first. The Restore-A-Finish actually cleans as you use it. **Q: Would you recommend this color for a teak dining table? I'm not sure if the other finishes would work better.** A: I wouldn't, I would go darker on teak. This stuff does not really add any color like a stain would. I have used golden oak for kitchen oak cabinets, and dark oak for 25 year old Minwax 230 Early American stained oak trim, and cherry for an antique cherry dininig room table and they all did not "darken" anything. This stuff isn't a stain and it should only restore any mis-colored spots, if its a dark teak -I would use the dark oak. **Q: Where can I see samples of the colors of this product?** A: On the website ## Frequently Bought Together - Howard Products RF1016 RF3016 Restor-A-Finish, 16 oz, Neutral - Howard Products Beeswax Wood Polish & Conditioner, Feed-N-Wax for Wood Furniture Polish, 16 oz, Orange --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/265398688-restor-a-finish-neutral-rf1016-restore-the-original-finish-remove](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/265398688-restor-a-finish-neutral-rf1016-restore-the-original-finish-remove) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
