Guardsman Clean & Polish For Wood Furniture - Woodland Fresh - 12.5 oz - Silicone Free, UV Protection - 460100

The best polish I have ever used.

I have solid cherry kitchen cabinets in a medium dark traditional finish and I'm not good keeping up with debris, oil, dirt that falls on and gets stuck to the surface while i cook and use the kitchen other ways. They were beautiful when I put them in 10 years ago - but they turned into an embarrassing mess after a few years of not taking care of them. I'm a guy who keeps a pretty neat house but I'm not obsessive, maybe i should be a bit more. I use my kitchen hugely, too.Anyway I decided to clean them and tried three or four different products one by one on Amazon, then landed on this after those purchases. The first ones just didn't turn out to be good -- too harsh on the finish, left nasty streaks, or just didn't work to help get grime off. Finally I bought this, not knowing if it would really do the job, and what do you know this is the one that worked great. I'm so happy I finally found one that worked. Spray it on, let it sit a minute, rub it off with vigor with an old towel. To get the gunky dirt off, a towel with a nap is helpful. Mine were so messed up with gunk I had to work two or three times on the worst areas, and, on big solidified drippy globs, spray them and let it sit for several minutes before I attacked. I'm not faulting the product for that! It definitely works to soften grunge and grease to prepare it to be wiped off even if you have to scrub it with a nappy polishing cloth. And just as good, it leaves a great final finish on a traditional cherry finish like mine. Clean and shiny, and no problem with streaks if you just buff it out with a clean cloth.Then, i was so OK with the result on the cabinets, I tried it on my piano. It's a big black Yamaha with one of those gloss black finishes. I bought it used - it was made in the 1980s. I hadn't cleaned it since I got it. This stuff was fantastic on it. Again, it had been so long since I had actually cleaned the finish on the wood, it took more than one go to get it totally clean to sight and streak=free. A trick is to have a couple clean soft and dry polishing cloths like old tshirts or towels, and to go over it a couple or even three times if it has been 10 years of gathering grime like mine was. It didn't take long or require hard scrubbing and pretty fast it turned the gloss ebony finish into a black mirror. So cool.I'm buying more and this will be my go-to product as long as I have this kitchen or piano.

Works well for antique wood furniture and reasonable price.

I bought this polish at the recommendation of a friend, in the hopes that it could fix a blemish on the finish of my kitchen table. Unfortunately, the damage was a little deeper, so I ended up ordering Guardsman Water Mark Remover 1-Count 405200. The first photo is of this blemish, which is near the center of the photo, but it is really difficult to see.Aside from not being able to fix that blemish, this is a high quality polish. When we bought the table the furniture store said to not use polishes with lemon oils in them, so I was at a loss as to what to use, since most of them come with lemon oils. I like the finish that this polish gives, which brings out the rich warm tones in the wood.

I'm always skeptical so I always buy the same type of cleaning products I think my mom use while I was growing up but I bought a new house that has original beautiful wood inside so I bought a bunch of products to clean and keep the word looking beautiful. I didn't think it would work but my kids left a sticky mess on my dining room table and I was going through and using this on some of the woodwork and thought I would give it a try it took it off better than using Dawn dish soap and scrubbing it with the scrubby side of the sponge!Needless to say I was completely amazed.I will definitely be ordering this every time I start to get low.I'm a stay at home mom and I work part time from home as a professional photographer. I have three kids two of them are toddlers so I'm cleaning up messes constantly. This will save me a lot of time after meals on my dining room table. Just the fact that I don't need to sit and scrub my dining room table I can just spray this on and wipe it off with a paper towel will save me a lot of time. It is probably a lot better for the table to clean it that way anyway. If the price went up I would still buy it it works that good.

Have used this for years, does a great job!

Bring older furniture it’s shine back

After having my office furniture resurfaced, I was advised not to use Pledge or other cleaners like it because of the way it cleans. It actually dries out the woods and ultimately damages it. I have been using Guardsman ever since and it has been great.
