I am a professional touch-up and furniture repair technician. I use these all the time and is a staple in my kit. Not only does it remove water rings (I've removed some that had been on antique furniture for decades), but it also works to remove minor scuffing, paint transfer, and finish damaged by plasticizers from little plastic feet on things like electronics. I've never had them fail.
It will leave a bit of oily residue that is easily removed. I use naphtha or Guardsman Furniture Polish to do this.
The abrasive in this product can also affect the sheen, leaving a fairly glossy surface. My solution to this is either do the whole surface (e.g., an end table top), or follow up with a spritz of touch up lacquer of matching sheen, or rub with an appropriate level abrasive (steel wool, polishing compound, etc.)

Works as promised!
Amazing product! I even bought one for my mother-in-law. She had a 40 year old mark on her coffee table and was floored that this cloth took the water spot out without damaging the finish.

Expensive cloth that didn't work
Cost about $10 for one cloth that was soaked in a chemical. Had high hopes that this would remove white heat marks on my solid wood table. Followed directions and applied to the heat stains; nothing happened. Buffed it with a clean cloth and applied again. No removal of the stains. Returned it for a refund.
Quite disappointed that it didn't function as advertised. Can't recommend.

Hopefull But Disappointed
After reading the reviews I was hopefull about this product, especially after trying different remedies that didn't work. Sadly this one failed too. It couldn’t even remove a few minor white marks off of a table.

Made only a very small change
There was SOME change from using this product as directed, but nothing impressive. The white rings and splotches are slightly lighter but still very noticeable. I think that this product would work satisfactorily on very minor discoloration, or maybe on other types of finish (it says it's not for use on polyurethane, and I have no idea what sort of finish this table has). For 9 dollars, I think it was worth the gamble, and judging by the other reviews, it clearly works for some people.
