Thread: Magic In A Bottle

Nup..... Polish Reviver Won't hurt any finish that is on the surface and if it needs to be stained or refinished in the future it will have to be sanded back to raw timber anyway.

No guarantee it will fix the problem but it definitely won't hurt anything. If the water damage is really intense then it will probably take a bit of working at. Don't expect to just wipe it on and have it disappear instantly, it will need to be worked in and wiped off, and worked in and wiped off, etc. Expect the first application to wipe off really dirty on the rag as it will pull off old dust and dirt etc. Sometimes it is a bit alarming :eek: because it looks like the whole surface is coming off, but it's probably not.

PS If the surface is cracked, crazed or flaking then your best alternative is to strip it and refinish. You can also use Polish Reviver to clean lots of other stuff, we use it on the compurer keyboard, fax, printer, photo copier and all sorts of other things.

Thanks Neil .... I didn't expect the guru to answer

It looks as if it will be well worth a try ... nothing to loose.

I have read the bible and also the internet site but I still have a couple of additional questions if I may ......

What surfaces/finishes does the reviver remove? You say in your reply that it will not "hurt any finish", so would I be correct in saying that its purpose is to remove dirt, grime and waxes that build up on the initial surface, thus improving the look?

Does it leave any residuals that could impact on the further application of traditional wax?

There are some small nicks in this dresser that will need to be stained to match the remainder, when should this be done before, after or during the use of the reviver?

Thanks
