Review: "Light" scratch repair - This is a fantastic product when used for its intended purpose. It works perfectly to remove light surface scratches in polyurethane or other wood finishes. It is not easy to use, because it takes some tough elbow grease to work it into the surface of the finish, "sand" out the scratches, and polish the finished area. This polishing compound is used in three steps. First, in the initial step as a liquid drizzled onto the area of the scratch or poured generously onto a soft cloth, the compound is worked over the surface finish where the scratches are located. Using a lite circular motion, spread the liquid over the surface, working it into the area of the scratch. Second, as the liquid evaporates it forms more of a paste. Now you want to switch from lite circular motions to heavier strokes directly over the scratches, working with the grain of the wood. This is where the compound does its job, by "sanding" the scratches out of the surface with the heavier pressure. There are fine abrasive particles in the liquid, and as the liquid evaporates the particles can perform more aggressively to sand out the scratches. Finally, as the paste is absorbed into the towel it leaves an oily residue that is tough to get up, but this actually has some light abrasive qualities that, when rubbed with a clean towel or buffed using a rotary buffer with a soft bonnet, will polish the surface to a bright shine. It takes a little practice to get this process down, but once you get the hang of it, the results are quite good. The one drawback is this "sanding" will leave some dullness in the finish that can be noticeable compared to the surrounding surface. While this is not that noticeable or objectional in most cases, further buffing will improve this greatly. If you are not satisfied with the final gloss this company also makes a companion product that will polish out the dullness, and return the surface to a brilliant shine. My experience was using the polishing compound on 35YO polyurethane hard wood floors. At this age and level of wear the result using just the Restor-A-Shine was a near perfect match to the original floor finish. I highly recommend this product for removing light surface scratches in wood finishes, but be prepared for some work and sore arms later.
Review: It made years to wear and tear disappear - PRODUCT: Howard Polishing Compound for Furniture OVERALL: This is a rubbing compound and not a protective furniture wax. That I applied after the buffing was complete. So I removed an old table cloth off my 60yo dining room table and realized it was there to cover years of wear. The original finish was unsightly and marred with a lifetime of scratches and abrasive scrub marks. (see photo) Before replacing the table cloth I decided to try buffing it out without removing the finish. Howard Polishing Compound exceeded my expectations. I was able to buff out every blemish leaving the table top looking like new. PROs: The compound (abrasive grit) actually improved the overall surface finish It buffs out scratches but doesn't leave any Tell-tale signs, even when it needed a 2nd or 3rd application. It leaves the surface finish undamaged. CONs: None

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Well to Shine
*by Y***I on March 25, 2025*

This works well to shine and cleans nicely. It is easy to open and use. It does not have an overpowering odor either. I think I may need to use it a few times over the same areas to get an ultimate shine. See before and after photos.
