Howard Restor-A-Finish is a wood restorer that penetrates faded lacquer, shellac, varnish, polyurethane, and other wood finishes to bring back original color and luster without stripping the existing finish. For nearly 50 years, this product has been a standard in the antique industry because it preserves and restores beauty to original wood finishes, helping maintain authenticity and value rather than removing them with harsh stripping.
Whether your treasured antiques, furniture, or wood pieces show signs of sun fade, oxidation, smoke damage, scratches, or water marks, Restor-A-Finish offers a gentle alternative to complete refinishing. The formula penetrates beneath the topcoat and restores the depth of grain in wood finishes, going much deeper than temporary scratch cover products. By maintaining the original patina of an antique finish, it preserves both character and value.
