Read the description

I didn’t read the description properly, I thought this was a coloured spray, but although it has a slight tint to it, it is really only like a clear varnish. It does revive door wood, but it will not put colour back into your wood (see pics) so it’s not what I needed for this job, but will come in handy for other furniture, I have to brighten it up and bring the colour back

Very easy to use, instant results

I was very impressed with his hardwood colour restorer. It literally does what it says it does. You simply spray it on, wipe off any excess, then see the restored colour. Was incredibly easy to use. Literally made the wood look like new.

Good restorer

This is an effective product that rejuvenates wooden surfaces although it is tricky to avoid the aerosol spray when you don’t have the option of using this outside.Some preparation of the surface is needed, but it is essentially to ensure it is clean and dry. You then spray the colour restorer and leave it for 15 minutes or so to be absorbed before buffing with a cloth.It works very well, effectively adding colour and nutrients to the wood and leaving you with a surface that is less dry and damaged as a result. Buffing reveals a good surface from one treatment, but you may need to have a second application if the wood is significantly dried out and sanding may also be needed.I am happy with what I have achieved from one application and the wood looks much better, but the aerosol spray is difficult to avoid and I could see aerosol spray in the air a good couple of metres away from the work area, so mask up or try to use this outside if possible.

Restored and protecting my wooden window ledge

As my wooden window ledges were getting discoloured and damaged from the condensation running down off the windows and lying on the ledge I decided to give this restorer a try. I had previously tried revarnishing them but that barely lasted a winter and peeled leaving the wood exposed and soaking in water again.Using this has somewhat restored the appearance of the wood but most importantly the water repellant nature seems to be doing a better job of protecting the wood from moisture so very pleased with that. It is quite expensive but it gets the job done so worth 5 stars overall I reckon.

More an oil/varnish than a colour restorer

Maybe I misinterpreted the listing description of this product but it didn’t seem quite what I was expecting. Being called a ‘colour restorer’, I thought it would have some colour in it too pep up some faded wood on furniture. However, what it seems to be is more a yellow-clear oily liquid, rather than a wood-coloured spray.Perhaps the idea is that this oil is absorbed by old, dried out wood and it is this that soon gives it a bit more’ life’ and colour - and it may well do that but, sadly, this want what I was anticipating.

Quite amazing results

Sprayed this on to a teak outside bench and it worked really well and left it looking like it was a few months old rather than several years old and had been outside for that amount of time, I will be using this for various other projects as I am really happy with the results 😁😁😁👍👍👍
