Most of the furniture in our house comes either from family or Craigslist, meaning that much of it comes to us in less than perfect condition. While in the past we turned down some pieces for being too scratched or having dull finish, since we've discovered Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Preserver we've happily accepted everything that comes across our path, knowing that a coat or two of this miracle product will make everything but the most banged-up piece of wood beautiful again.
The main ingredients are Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, and Orange Oil, although the bottle warns us that it also contains Petroleum Distillate, making this product not entirely green. While we make all reasonable attempts to use only eco-friendly products in our house, we will continue to make an exception for Feed-N-Wax until we find something green that works as well - call us shallow, but our furniture has never looked better.










Is this more for restoring or maintaining wood? I just bought a dresser off Craigslist and was thinking of getting some Restore-A-Finish to fix up scratches and the like. Which would you recommend?

I've had good luck hiding scratches and finish imperfections with the Feed-N-Wax, but I think in general it's meant for maintaining wood. I've heard good things about Restore-A-Finish and Howard actually recommends you use that first and then Feed-N-Wax to finish it off. Let us know how it goes!

I've used Restore-A-Finish on all of my hardwood floors (old oak covered with the nastiest shag carpet) and the Feed-N-Wax to finish them off and they both work great!! I loved the results.

spacemouse,
I highly recommend both Restore-a-Finish and Feed-n-Wax; check out my January Jumpstart for before and after pics. Good luck with your project!
