How well do some of these wipe-on refinishers really work?

by GGma from Minnesota

This is my first time here. My cabinets and all my woodwork need some sprucing up. Does anyone really know how well some of these wipe-on refinishers really work and how things look afterward? I am afraid things will end up looking worse then before I did them.

I use two different products and like them both, Watco Danish Oil and Howard's Restor-a-Finish. Both work well but they have limits. They are great for covering scratches and putting back some shine. If your wood work is just a little scratched and dry either of these products will word well, it could take 2 coats. Watco has more color and can hide a bit more but takes longer to dry. Both have a strong solvent smell so good ventilation is a must.
