OLD ENGLISH Furniture Scratch Cover, For Light Wood, 8 Oz Bottle

This is an excellent product well worth the price. I have a mid 60's vintage dresser and matching nightstand made of a sturdy honey oak. The dresser is long and low with six drawers and also has a bookcase hutch that sits on top of it. I used this set as teenager in my bedroom and inherited it in my early 20's when my parents moved to a new home. It's been with me ever since-- in the service, in apartments, houses, and in basement storage for years on end. It's followed me from one end of the country to the other for almost 30 years. Needless to say, the set is a little beat up. It has nicks and scratches, the wood on the top of each piece had turned somewhat gray and the dresser top also had scratches from the bookcase hutch (which was also in rough shape). After moving in to a new house, the set was rescued from basement storage oblivion to serve as the set in a small guest room. My first thought was that I would have to have the set refinished. But I decided to give the Old English product a chance. I'm glad I did! The set shined up like a newborn's bottom. The product covered the scratches and brought back the luster and shine to the wood. The gray spots on the top of each piece went back to honey oak. The dry wood just drank the product in. How I used it: I first dusted the pieces and got in to all the nooks and crannies. I then took a clean cloth and applied the product to both the cloth and the top of the pieces. The directions say to just apply to the cloth and wipe it on from there but this furniture was in dire need of some direct application. After going over the furniture thoroughly, I wiped it down with another clean cloth. The product does not smell, and also does not leave the furniture feeling greasy or wet. It will cover little nicks and surface scratches well, and bring back the luster and tone of the furniture. It will help with deep scratches and gouges, but will not cover them. For that, you will have to use a furniture pen or some other type of filler. But this product used in conjunction with those items can save the cost of a total refinish. I used a furniture pen with some of the deeper nicks at the base of each piece. The end result is that the set looks a hundred times better. Not refinished-- no wipe on product can do that-- but it restored the set to a more than serviceable state. My S/O couldn't believe the transformation. She felt that we would have to either have the set refinished or buy something new. She was floored when she saw the results. I would also add that unless you have a dark walnut or cherry piece, that the "light"color will work for you just fine. Anything from a mid range wood color to lighter.

This product works pretty well. It’s not magic but I’ve been using it around the handles on my kitchen cabinets and I’m pretty pleased with the results. It’s easy to apply and doesn’t smell.

I’ve used this for years on my wood table and especially mt roll top desk. It does a great job on the scratched and leaves the wood looking very refreshed.

I used this on scratches on a cherry hardwood floor and it helped a lot! The white scratches turned more the color of the flooring. This product does not remove scratches, but it covers them well so they are less noticeable or not noticeable at all. Wish I had taken before and after photos.

The color isn’t an exact match, but it certainly covers scratches. I had a deep gouge inside a cabinet door and this covered the discoloration immediately.

works great on my kitchen cabinets

I was having a difficult time finding Old English for light wood at my local stores. Yeah! I found it on Amazon and my woodwork is now stunning!

Old English is a great fix for small scratches. Just wipe it on polish it in, no more scratches. I even use it on our hardwood floor if I fine a scratch. It don't last forever and you have to use it again but it is better than having to replace the whole anything. I love it. I even used it on a walnut nightstand that had water spilled on it and left a large water mark and it greatly improved it's appearance.
