It restores the depth of grain in wood finishes, going much deeper than temporary 'scratch cover' products. Restor-A-Finish penetrates and permanently restores most wood finishes without removing any of the existing finish. Restor-A-Finish maintains the original 'patina' of an antique finish, maintaining its character and value as an antique. White heat rings and water marks, sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage, and most other blemishes can be quickly blended away with this simple wipe-on, wipe-off process. Comes in 9 different colours. If you are uncertain about which color to use, then chose a colour slightly lighter than your finish. Before you go to the extreme of stripping it. Unique finish-penetrating formula that restores wood finishes & blends out scratches & blemishes Available in nine colours to match almost any wood finish tone Most wood finishes that seem to need a complete refinishing job can be restored in a few minutes Restor-A-Finish restores the finish without removing any of the existing finish Before you go to the extreme of stripping it, restore it Restor-A-Finish is a unique finish-penetrating formula that restores wood finishes while blending out minor scratches, blemishes and abrasions Available in nine colours to match almost any wood finish tone; Neutral, Maple-Pine, Golden Oak, Cherry, Walnut, Mahogany, Dark Walnut, Dark Oak, and Ebony Brown With a simple wipe-on, wipe-off process, most finished wood surfaces that seem to need a complete refinishing job can be restored in a few minutes Removes white heat rings and watermarks, sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage and most other blemishes For all medium brown tones Eliminates white heat rings and water marks Restores colour and luster to faded finishes Review: From old, unsightly ruin to glorious, richly hued antique - I can’t believe this exists. Unbelievable difference with little effort; have used this extensively to restore unloved, scratched and sad looking wooden furniture into the beautiful antiques they now are. Utterly mind blown at how brilliant this stuff is Review: A Gentle But Effective Product for Antique Furniture - I have many years of professional furniture restoration and revival experience but new, clever products are manufactured all the time. I bought this Restor-A-Finish to try out on an inconspicuous area of an 18th century walnut bureau which had been light damaged. Of course, I was anxious not to destroy its antique finish and character of age. I would normally use a mixture of turpentine, oil and meths to clean and a little wood stain if necessary. I am truly astonished at the result which I have now used over the entire surface, following the instructions of wipe on and then wipe clean the surface. It is not a scary dramatic stain at all and the walnut colour I used is true to the lovely aged walnut you would hope for. I reapplied on the paler bleached veneers and they are now perfect. I will leave a while and then apply wax. This is a genuine recommendation and I am sure it will not damage your furniture surface. I did not have water stains on this piece but I can believe it will work without affecting the patina. . ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Harmful if inhaled. - Highly flammable liquid and vapour. - May cause drowsiness or dizziness. - Restore Without Stripping: Available in neutral, maple pine, golden oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany, dark walnut, dark oak, and ebony to match your wood finish - Restores Colour: Brings back the original colour to faded wood finishes and revitalizes the depth of grain - Blends Out Imperfections: Effectively blends out scratches and blemishes on wooden furniture surfaces - Removes White Heat Rings: Eliminates white heat rings and water marks from finished wood surfaces - Simple Application Process: Easy wipe-on wipe-off process that restores most wood finishes in just a few minutes - Penetrating Formula: Contains a unique finish-penetrating formula with stain, solvent, and restoring oils that permanently restore existing finishes without removing them - Large 473ml Bottle: Generous size provides ample product for multiple restoration projects on wooden furniture throughout your home ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000C02BIC | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,706 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 53 in Wood Fill | | Brand | HOWARD | | Colour | Neutral | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 29,823 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088682160014 | | Included Components | 1 x 473ml | | Item Dimensions | 46 x 99 x 165 millimetres | | Item Type Name | 473ml or 16oz - Restor-A-Finish, Neutral | | Item Weight | 460 Grams | | Liquid Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Howard Products | | Material | Wood | | Model Name | Restor-A-Finish Neutral | | Model Number | RF1016 | | Model name | Restor-A-Finish Neutral | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | Howard - RF1016 | | Size | 473 ml (Pack of 1) | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | Surface recommendation | Wood | | UPC | 088682160014 | | Unit Count | 473.0 millilitre | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HOWARD - **Color:** Neutral - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 1.8 x 3.9 x 6.5 inches - **Model Name:** Howard - RF1016 - **Size:** 1 Pint ## Images ![Howard Restor-A-Finish Neutral RF1016 Wood Furniture Restorer Remove Heat and Stain Marks 473ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gnQmb6shL.jpg) ![Howard Restor-A-Finish Neutral RF1016 Wood Furniture Restorer Remove Heat and Stain Marks 473ml - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SJ+ZGfRmL.jpg) ![Howard Restor-A-Finish Neutral RF1016 Wood Furniture Restorer Remove Heat and Stain Marks 473ml - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-lzRjzf-L.jpg) ![Howard Restor-A-Finish Neutral RF1016 Wood Furniture Restorer Remove Heat and Stain Marks 473ml - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L4T6pJ-zL.jpg) ![Howard Restor-A-Finish Neutral RF1016 Wood Furniture Restorer Remove Heat and Stain Marks 473ml - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Dz3LymfwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which color should I get if I have dark expresso color wood?** A: Their Ebony Brown shade is ideal for modern Espresso finishes. 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From old, unsightly ruin to glorious, richly hued antique *by E***M on 12 May 2026* I can’t believe this exists.

Leaves a nice glossy shine. Some superficial marks disappear but others remain. I don’t have the time at present to use wire wool to get rid of deeper marks. ## 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.us/products/54606811-howard-restor-a-finish-neutral-rf1016-wood-furniture-restorer-remove](https://www.desertcart.us/products/54606811-howard-restor-a-finish-neutral-rf1016-wood-furniture-restorer-remove) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
