Tools and Hardware Reviews of Howard FW0016 Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, 16-Ounces
Customer Review: Excellent product for oak furniture
Summary: 5 Stars
I could go on all day about how good this product is. I've been using it for about 15 years, since I purchased a large oak bedroom double wall credenza. It is the only product that I have found that really will refresh dried wood finishes on oak kitchen cabinets; they look brand new when the product is applied. There is no nasty smell, either. Please follow the instructions; I usually use clean cloth rags that I throw out rather than keep, although paper towels will work. This item can be expensive, ranging up to $25 per bottle. If you go price shopping, be sure you are purchasing the 16 ounce size, because it comes in the smaller sizes of 4 and 8 ounces. The best price I found was on Amazon, through a vendor called acehardwareoutlet, which I have used more than once, and would also recommend. I was recently able to order three bottles for a total price of $25.34, including shipping. That is a lot of product, however, I gave one bottle to a friend as a gift, and she loved it; it's a perfect gift for someone who has a lot of oak furniture.Customer Review: Works fairly well yet......
Summary: 3 Stars
This polish works fairly well yet it isn't a color neutral product. It will add a slightly golden tone to the wood surface. I am assuming that this is due to the orange oil. Take caution if you are using this on lighter colored woods such as Beech, which was my case. Especially if the wood is untreated, my table went from an ivory toned with medium brown to a slightly orange tint. It almost has the appearance of pine now. As far as polishing it does a good job of saturating the wood with oils which does prevent splitting. Unfortunately I am currently trying to remove the polish as I don't like the tint it has added to the wood. I may have to end up sanding it down to bare wood, but again, the polish is orange in appearance so one(me) should not assume that it is a color neutral product. Any suggestions for removing the polish?Customer Review: Want your cedar to come alive?
Summary: 5 Stars
We used Howard's Feed-N-Wax on all our bare wood and wood furniture too! We started out using the Feed-N-Wax on the antique furniture but ended up using it on all of the cedar beams in the house. It cleaned and brought the grain to its original color of 9 years ago. We have a post and beam house with a lot of cedar beams running every which way and it did take your time but it brighten up the whole house. The bees wax dries into the wood. The following day we didn't feel anything on the wood. (We tried to put the wax on as thick as possible without having to wipe it off.)
We would recommend Howard's Feed-N-Wax highly..... We opened cap and squeezed onto a sponge like applicator used in waxing the car and applied in a circular motion.
Customer Review: Amazing!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Room and Board uncoated, cherry wood dresser. I used a wax sold by Room&board to wax it until it ran out. I'was glad that it did, because this new one I found on Amazon was so much more superior to the Room&board wax.
My dresser has not been treated w/ wax for almost a year. Here is before/after comparison:
Before: surface was dry and dull. It had many white water marks from cups and wedding bands.
After: surface was brought back to life and showed a nice golden red cherry color; wood grains looked beautiful, It had such a nice shine (not oily, not shinny); and the water marks had all disappeared. I never saw that beautiful golden shine when I used R&B wax. In short, the dresser simply looked amazing!
Customer Review: Howard Feed-N-Wax does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
We've had trouble with our front door. Rain made spots on the wood. I used Howard Products Restore-A-Finish on it and it looked great. That is until the pest service sprayed the door, leaving a new set of white blotches. R-A-F fixed up again and we told the Pest Guy to bug off. THEN a cat selected our front stoop as a nightly stop and began to spray the door with dire results. This time I followed up the R-A-F application with Howard Products Feed-N-Wax, since we weren't ready to off the neighbor's cat. It looked even better than it had before and so far it has resisted the cat's best efforts. I'm sold on it.
