Howard
Howard wood care products for restoring, conditioning, and protecting furniture, antiques, cabinets, and food-prep wood. Howard Products, Inc. has been family owned in Paso Robles, California since 1969, and built its reputation on Restor-A-Finish with the idea "Restore It – Don't Strip It!" This brand collection covers Howard lines currently in the store.
Restor-A-Finish permanently restores color and luster in many lacquer, shellac, varnish, and polyurethane finishes without stripping the original coating. Feed-N-Wax follows with conditioning oils plus beeswax and carnauba wax protection. Cutting Board Oil and Butcher Block Conditioner handle food-contact wood, and Citrus-Shield Premium Paste Wax buffs a protective carnauba/beeswax shine.

FAQ
Will Restor-A-Finish replace stripping?
Howard markets Restor-A-Finish to restore many existing finishes without removing them. Severe damage or some one-step stain-and-poly finishes may still need refinishing.
What should I use after Restor-A-Finish?
Howard recommends Feed-N-Wax as the follow-up polish and conditioner to protect the restored finish.
Can Feed-N-Wax go on cutting boards?
No. Howard says Feed-N-Wax is not intended for food-prep surfaces. Use Cutting Board Oil, Butcher Block Conditioner, or Howard's food-safe wax products instead.
What is Citrus-Shield?
Citrus-Shield Premium Paste Wax blends Brazilian carnauba wax, beeswax, and orange oil. It buffs to a protective shine on wood finishes and can be used on unfinished wood when you want a natural look.
