Available in 9 colors, it quickly removes heat rings, water marks, sun fade, and oxidation, preserving the wood’s authenticity and value with a simple wipe-on, wipe-off application trusted by professionals for over 40 years. ## 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. ## Features - Restor-A-Finish is a unique finish-penetrating formula that restores wood finishes while blending out minor scratches, blemishes and abrasions - Available in nine colors 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 water marks, sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage and most other blemishes - Restor-A-Finish restores the finish without removing any of the existing finish - Before you go to the extreme of stripping it, restore it ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | B000C02BIW | | Base Material | Stain-based | | Best Sellers Rank | #96,766 in Health & Personal Care (See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care) #210 in Furniture & Wood Polishes | | Brand Name | HOWARD | | Coating Description | Penetrating oil-based stain with pigments and binders for wood finishes | | Colour | Mahogany | | Compatible Material | Wood | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (2,665) 4.3 out of 5 stars | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088682160052 | | Importer Contact Information | CLICKTECH RETAIL PRIVATE LIMITED, 18, RABINDRA SARANI, PODDAR COURT, GATE NO.2, GROUND FLOOR KOLKATA, WEST BENGAL, 700001, INDIA. | | Included Components | 1 Can | | Item Dimensions | 40 x 95 x 160 Millimeters | | Item Type Name | Wood Finish Restore | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 16 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Howard Products, Howard Products, Inc. 560 Linne Road Paso Robles, CA 93446, Howard Products, Inc. | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Howard Products, Howard Products, Inc. 560 Linne Road Paso Robles, CA 93446 | | Manufacturer Part Number | Howard - RF5016 | | Model Name | Howard - RF5016 | | Model Number | RF5016 | | Number Of Items | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | Howard Products, Howard Products, Inc. 560 Linne Road Paso Robles, CA 93446 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Wood | | Size | 473 mL | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | Upc | 088682160052 | ## Images ![Howard Products Restor-A-Finish, Mahogany, 473 mL, RF5016 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Bai+ltMKL.jpg) ![Howard Products Restor-A-Finish, Mahogany, 473 mL, RF5016 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SJ+ZGfRmL.jpg) ![Howard Products Restor-A-Finish, Mahogany, 473 mL, RF5016 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-lzRjzf-L.jpg) ![Howard Products Restor-A-Finish, Mahogany, 473 mL, RF5016 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71L4T6pJ-zL.jpg) ![Howard Products Restor-A-Finish, Mahogany, 473 mL, RF5016 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Dz3LymfwL.jpg) ## 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product *by on Reviewed in India 4 March 2026* Easy to use, good colour and sheen.
