Over the years I have acquired or inherited quite a few pieces of what I would term “everyday furniture”.  Nice, factory made stuff, probably 60 – 80 years old.  A while back I spotted a can of Howard Furniture Restore in the paint dept of my local hardware store.  Being an effete woodworking snob, I made a disparaging remark about the product to one of my salesman friends.  He told me that it was good stuff, so naturally I bought a can just to prove him wrong.

After cleaning off an old sideboard with napha, I applied the Furniture Restore with 0000 steel wool, let it sit for a few minuets, and buffed it off with soft rags.  I was astonished at the results.  Since then I have cleaned up several more pieces.

I am wondering if any of you may have also tried this product.  I am also curious as to what, besides oil and wax, makes this stuff work so well.
