Finish question

[Jon Page]

It is not an amalgamator except to the extent that it is applied to excess.

I wipe it on with a cloth and a brush for the inside corners and decorative
detail. I may use a janitorial degreaser first depending on the job.

It does dissolve the finish somewhat so you need to end your wiping strokes
with the grain.

As Ron says, it cleans and enriches the finish.

Not intended as a "Formby's" type restorer but will spark-up
an old, dried finish.

Your results may vary,
