Cleaning and waxing proved to be fine for flat surfaces like a table top. When it came to the turned and fluted table and chair legs it was an issue.
Someone suggested I give one a try.
These are two legs of the same chair presented as a before and after. The left leg is the “before”

It can brighten up a finish and I ve used it on some things that I felt didn't deserve the time or the work involved in doing a real finish. However, I ve been caught out on that as well. If the old finish has compromised areas the restorafinish can and will absorb through those areas into the wood causing really unsightly blotches making more work by far than what would have been involved in doing a proper refinish. I classify Restorafinish in the "dubious " category.
Are you talking about Howard's Restore a Finish? I use it all the time but for banged up house trim and surfaces that are not fine furniture. I consider it a cosmetic product.
Yes that's the one. It's basically oils and wax in a bottle. It's not a refinish by any means but, as you say, a cosmetic product.
