Review on ๐Ÿช‘ Howard RS0016 Restor-A-Shine Wood Finish Polishing Compound - 16 oz: Revitalize and Shine Your Wood Furniture by Jonathan Jensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

In my case, not a glossy finish, but I'm satisfied.

I like the product. If I were to deduct a star it might be because I didn't get a glossy finish. I ended up with a satin finish, which was my original goal. The wood was walnut and had previously been treated with 5 coats of Danish clear lacquer followed by 6 coats of clear semi-gloss polygel. After applying the first few coats of Danish varnish, sanding was done between each coat. The final finish was done with a Minwax Oil Poly Spray to simply fill in any remaining sand marks. After that I got an inconsistent finish with shiny and matte spots. I have tried various sanding/polishing methods including fine sanding wax. It got better but not enough for me. This product did its job. Glossy areas became semi-glossy and matte areas also became semi-glossy. I am happy with the end result.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • The list will be long.
