Customer Reviews for Rejuvenate 16 oz. Satin Finish Cabinet Restorer and Protectant

It doesn't do anything to the cabinets of the kitchen There is not difference don't waste your money

Prep time was three days. mitt is hard to use would recommend rubber gloves and a clean rag to apply. I have cabinets from 1974 so wood is dry and two coats were needed. When I get new hardwear will apply a third coat

This product is the worst thing ever, it left my brand new kitchen cabinets full of streaks and i can never get rid of them.i am really disappointed and do not know what to do

Applied it to my 23yr old faded kitchen cabinets and they look like new. I love it and will buy it again.

My cabinets were looking a little worse for wear so I decided to try Rejuvenate in combination with their wood repair markers. My cabinets' cherry wood veneer had numerous nicks and scratches so filling in the spots was time consuming. The colors match pretty well so issues there. Applying the Rejuvenate restorer was simple. Just be sure to start from top to bottom to avoid streaking. I used 2 coats as recommended. For a total investment of about $23 and even though one of the panels had a slight streaking issue, I'm quite happy with the results.

I followed the directions on the back of the bottle exactly. I also only used it on one corner of my dining room table as a test. It completely ruined the table!!! It is really bad. I will have to purchase a new dining room table. The cleaner will not buff out. It left large, dark white streaks on the table. Please do not use on furniture!

Used on all my cabinets throughout the house and looks like new. Even used on my 40 year old dining table with outstanding results.

I take good care of my 20 year old cherry Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets. Lately, I have not been getting good results with cleaning products and homemade concoctions. I started researching kitchen cabinet cleaners. Every January, I give the kitchen a really thorough cleaning because December is a regular cookathon for me and my family. I decided to try this Rejuvenate product and the cleaner and purchased at HD. FINALLY, got the results I was looking for. Cleaner does a great job and Restorer makes them shine and enhances the beauty of the wood. For the first time in several years, I was really happy with the results after 5 hours of cleaning cabinets. Yes, there is still elbow grease involved but the end product was worth my time energy, and cost of the cleaners. The image posted is the after of my trashcan cabinet which is the most used, most damaged, and dirtiest. Sorry, I forgot to take a before picture. I will be trying more Rejuvenate products.

Don't use on Formica Countertops! I initially used Rejuvenate on my 20 year old Formica kitchen countertops. They looked beautiful after 5 coats, but as soon as I started using over the next few weeks, permanent unsightly marks and splotches appeared, especially where water was splashed from doing dishes. Nothing I tried fixed the marks. Countertops totally ruined, so DO NOT USE ON FORMICA. New maintenance-free Cambria countertops being installed in a few weeks. I also tried on the tops of a small wooden table, my two nightstands and the long bedroom dresser. Really great results on all four pieces. I do recommend for similar pieces (not exposed to water).

My table looks almost new!!! I used this on my 20 year old dining room table. It did have scratches and a little damage but most of all it had lost it's shine. I put 3 coats on and buffed it later. It is easy to use. The only problem I had is that a spilled some on my tile floor and have not been able to get all the spots out.

Fantastic product. Restored scratched and dull 30 year old Thomasville dining table. 5 easily applied coats, put on with supplied mitt cloth. Used cleaner first

Didn't do anything to the kitchen Cabinet

Im usually skeptical about items that say they can restore your items and make them shine again. Our kitchen table finish was very dull and scratched up from our kids using a scotch pad to clean it. I seen this product and read the reviews and decided to give it a try. Well after two coats and less than 40 mins later our table actually looks new again and shines bright. Id definitly recommend this product. Just follow the instructions and youll wow yourself with the results

Awesome product. We made some sun and water damaged furniture beautiful again!! Before and After photos enclosed. the finish improved with the first application and got better with the second and third. Love it!

After reading some of the reviews, I almost bailed out and resorted to my usual lemon or orange oil to polish my kitchen cabinets. I'm so glad I didn't. There is a very small learning curve to gauge just the right amount to use but once you have it figured out, the application is a breeze. I used a microfiber cloth and a Dawn/water mix to thoroughly clean the cabinets. While not necessary, I did let them completely dry overnight before moving on to the Rejuvenate. I did not think to take "before" pics. After cleaning, there was no shine at all on my 15-yr old cabinets. Some reviewers refer to "buffing". You do NOT buff this product. A video I watched likened application to that of paint. One or two swipes, overlapping just a bit, then move on. If you see missed spots, wait 5 minutes (or until dry), then go over the surface again. Don't try to fix it while it's wet. I opted for two coats, which gave a nice satin sheen. The photos were taken at night, with the overhead light on. It appears brighter in the picture than it really is. After the two coats, I still have a little more than half the bottle left. The only piece Rejuvenate did not work well on was a small (cheap) breakfast table. I think there was just enough of a "finish" on it that caused the Rejuvenate to streak. I quickly washed it, again with Dawn/water, and it came off with no problem. I definitely recommend this product over the oil-based alternatives. I am certain that it will not attract as much dust and dirt, since the finish lends for easy occasional dusting.

Picked up the product with high hopes, have a lots, and lots of woodwork. 15,000 square feet of rooms with lots of wood, panels, doors, staircases, floors. We tried it on a number of wood areas looked great for the first day (done in the center of wood work) but by the second day didn't look much different from the wood right next to it.

I know "rejuvenate" is a relative term, but you shouldn't expect this product to work miracles on cabinets where the original finish is badly worn. I had hopes that it might since the wear on my cabinets had mostly just lost its sheen. But in all honesty, it fell a bit short of my expectations. Yes, it brought back the shine, but really didn't "rejuvenate" the worn areas (see before and after photos). And yes, I followed the instructions to thoroughly clean them to remove all dust, stains, wax, etc. If your cabinets have a lot of worn spots, it's not gonna make those spots disappear. But it does make them look better so I still recommend at least trying this product. It's very easy and quick to apply with the included microfiber mitt, and dries quickly so additional coats can be added after about 20 minutes each (I ended up applying 4 coats to mine). Like I said, if you just need to bring some life back to "dull" cabinets, it should work. But if you have uneven wear and tear, it probably not going to bring them back to their original state. Still, it certainly doesn't make them look worse so you have nothing to lose by giving it a try!!

I used this restorer on quite old (1960) but beautiful rich dark kitchen cabinets. My primary ‘problem area’ is above the stove, thanks to steam and heat taking their toll on the cabinet finish. This restorer did a very nice job of bringing back the finish and shine of the cabinets. It’s very easy to apply, in fact the instructions warn not to work it into the wood—“Just apply and move on.” The pictures don’t show the renewed shine as well as it appears in person. I’ve used Rejuvenate floor products with great success in the past, and this brings my happy experience with their products to my furniture and cabinets.

Getting ready to sell house. Cleaned early 1990's cabinets with purple Super Clean to get grime off, particularly around handles and edges. Then wiped on a few coats of Rejuvenate and the cabinets look like new with a lovely gloss that looks like it was buffed. No elbow grease needed. Cabinets are maple with polyurethane.

We tried the furniture and cabinet restorer on our dining room table. The table has visible damage from a hot iron that created a white spot. After following the instructions included on the furniture restorer packaging, the iron mark's visibility had decreased dramatically. Everyone noticed the difference at Thanksgiving dinner! The instructions were very clear and the time invested was low. It was a quick project with high returns. Will definitely be using on the kitchen cabinets, dining room chairs and our upright piano. Definitely worth a try!

I tried this product on various cabinets and furniture items at my place. Overall, I found it to work great with the lighter colored cabinets where it provides great shine and hides blemishes (see pictures). However, I did not see the same results with the darker furniture that I tried. The product however is very easy to apply and use with the supplied mitt applicator. Overall would definitely recommend this for lighter colored cabinet and furniture.

I splashed some on my breezeway's wood cabinet, used a good rag, and it adsorbed quickly (the wood was very dry). Consistency is a little thin and milky, not heavy, which might be needed to get rid of bigger scratches and scuff marks. I use Old English for really bad problem areas. However, I like this product as it gets into the wood and cleans at the same time. I would use two products based on the needs of the wood. This is a good furniture "restorer" and ads moisture back into the wood. Old English works on scratches and colors my wood (my furniture needs Old English dark scratch cover oil). Good product.

The product works good for lightly scratched wood furniture or cabinets. Will not hide scuff marks or deep scratches. Follow the instructions as stated and you will have good results. However, this product is limited in restoring fine wood furniture to pristine condition if the furniture or cabinets has been gently used. Not recommended for faux wood products.

Very, very easy to apply, dries quickly. The best part is my kitchen cupboards and bathroom vanities are 30 years old and now look brand new!! I was thinking about replacing my kitchen cupboards until using this product, now I don't have to (spouse is happy this saved us a lot of money)!! The gallon jug goes a long way, I have a very large kitchen with 18 cabinets and two bathroom vanities and have 3/4 of a gallon left!

One coat is not be enough, but worth the effort! My 25-year-old oak kitchen cabinets have a new lease on life. Even the worst worn parts look much better, not perfect, but better. I plan on hitting those areas a couple more times as they seem to improve with subsequent applications. The rest of the cabinets look better like new. Cannot vouch for durability, but this is day two and I am a happy customer.

This product ruined my Ethan Allen dining table! There was a place left by a moist rag being left on the table and a few scratches and I had this product that promised miracles..... My table is now a streaked mess! I used the mitt that came with it...overlapped just exactly like it said.... Very unsightly! Would love to have an idea on how to remove this and get it back like it was!!!! See picture!

Very pleaseed with product worked good in my living room

There was a cautionary message about testing an area first before using this polish so I tried it on an ancient sewing machine cabinet with a battered top. The polish is a milky cream and I used the included microfiber mitt to spread it. I went over the cabinet a second time after letting it soak in a bit. It did a decent job of polishing but didn't phase the rough spots and water damaged areas. There are probably cheaper polishes on the market that would give the same results.

We restored our family room coffee table using Rejuvenate touch up markers and cabinet & furniture restorer. The table looks great and was easy to apply. Very satisfied with the product and we plan to use it on all our furniture.
