Thank you for making this excellent, yet simple head to head to head demonstration video.
Now, we know Howard is the best😊
I was playing around recently with an antique spindle back chair that I hadn’t worked on since the mid ‘70s. I used golden oak Restor-A-Finish and left it overnight to “off gas”. The next day, I used Feed-N-Wax generously and left it to soak in overnight. I had stained the chair in the ‘70s, but didn’t put a clear hard finish on it and it had sun faded. When I wiped the wax off, it had become a beautiful almost dark oak color. I was very happy with the result.
Howard's seals the oils in with it's beeswax content. Howard's is all I ever use on my antique radio collection. And the oak railings in my house annually.
The Howard Feed-N-Weed Wax Beeswax works great!!!...I just used it on a pair of Ampex Model 2010 speakers...You'll want to do ALL the wood in your home...
I leave Howard Feed N Wax on overnight before buffing off excess. It works better for me that way.
Good tip, Randy. I’ll give it a try.
Cool video! I was just looking for a wax/oil or polish for my Thiel CS 2.3s and found your video. I use to own the Ohm Walsh 4's years ago. Thanks for doing the comparison.
Thanks for this test. My Ohm Walsh 2's had one speaker faded from sun. The Howard Feed-N-Wax worked wonders by bringing the tone of the wood back.
Excellent! Glad the video (and Howard’s) helped.
This video was just what I was looking for!
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for posting this, I think you did a very good job! I've been wondering how it worked in the "real" world and now I know. I think it did a nice job and that last piece really transformed.
You’re welcome, John. Glad you found it helpful.
Tried Howard's thanks to this video and got more than I could've hoped for. Subbed
Thank you so much!! Number one is definitely a winner.. this was such a big help.. I'm going to use one on my floors and my doll house and three on The border's the windows.. and the stairs
Awesome video, great job!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Video very well done. Thank you. Using this product to restore a restoration hardware display case. So far so good
Great to hear! Glad the video helped.
Just came across your channel, good stuff, what you'll probably want to try and will like the results I'd imagine, is I always use danish oil on the cabinets first and let it soak up well and buff and let it seep in the grain for 2-3 days and if it's dry and hasn't been done in years I'll do 2 coats and the grain looks great, then I go over it with Howard's like you used and seal the oil in the grain, looks great for 2-3 months usually, then repeat 3-4 times a year or whenever you wish. If you want a glossier finish just use tung oil instead of danish, for natural satin/low gloss look use danish.
Howards feed-n-wax is great for all wood in my house. It even works great for my wood carvings.
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you, Carolina.
Wow! My type of guy-OCD to the max! Great video. 😃
Thanks, Debbie! Glad you enjoyed it.
Cramer's Antique Restorer ! Hands down the best ! Give it a try ! It's not cheap !!!
Such a good workout perfectionist
I would like to see if the Howard's product Restor a Finish, works to restore scratches and water marks.
Is the feed n wax better than lemon oil when it comes to polishing a stabilized wood?
This guy a smart great video
Thanks, Roberto.
The Howard's was shiny and stayed shiny oh my!
In the U.K. we have spray beeswax polish called Woodsilk it’s great and worth a try if you can find it.
I use feed and wax but apply it with steel wool, now I don't go crazy hard but it helps knock of any paint dots that I seem to always find on vintage speakers.
Those white paint dots? What is with those? I find them on almost every old piece of gear I buy!
I always assumed it was overspray or splatter from when someone is repainting the walls. Everyone is too lazy to cover or move the speakers I guess.
@@t00lshack I’ve always thought the same, but can never understand why the color is always white. Guess that’s the most popular wall color.
Good job . The timber used on is new raw never satined or varnished? Or ist old furniture. Thanks for that.
Can you use this stuff on treated IKEA furniture and just like re-polish over the paint?
And will be smooth finish? Thanks
I’ve been using Howard’s Feed & Wax on the wood cases for my vintage Luxman gear and it looks great.
I was debating on trying General Finishes oil-based satin which I recently used on a new stereo rack I just finished, but after find your video last night I am going to use Howard’s Feed & Wax. You have a great channel👍👍
This video is just what I needed for my table....would have loved to see Pledge...do you have any experience with it? Thanks
Glad you liked the video. Pledge is designed to be used on sealed wood, so it’s not something that’s going to penetrate and protect. Products like that are good for routine dusting, although some claim they leave a harmful buildup. It’ll clean the surface and maybe add a bit of shine, but that’s about it. I imagine it’ll perform about as well as the lemon oil I show in the video.
Fantastic review! Thanks for posting. How often does the beeswax have to be reapplied?
Use Howard's Restor-A-Finish before the Feed-N-Wax, and the final result will blow you away.
Yes, that's another great Howard product, thanks for mentioning it. Restor-A-Finish can often remove heat rings, water marks and other damage without the need for stripping and re-staining. If the finish is already in good shape and just needs a shine, though, the Feed-N-Wax on its own is a great solution.
Not good for poly though.
@@6atlantisCorrect. You cannot use these products on top of a poly finish. And, just as importantly, you cannot put poly on top of the Howard's and beeswax.
i would like to know where you can buy this product. I live in Canada and I have not seen this polish.
I'd be curious to see these compared to Tung Oil
Tung oil is fantastic, but is considered more of a finish than a quick polish which is the purpose of these products. The polishes are intended to be used on already finished wood. I’m not certain how well tung oil would work as a polish.
Great post, but how does anything penetrate a sealer or varnish on the cabinet and bring out the woodgrain?
The wood grain itself is largely not going to be penetrated in a great many cases. But the protective layer is always somewhat porous and can develop nicks, cracks and an unevenness over time. The less smooth the protective layer, the more dull the appearance. Products like this fill in the pores and cracks in in the protective layers which often enhances the appearance. This is similar with car paint. When you wax and polish it’s not the paint layer you’re addressing. It’s the clear coat.
Now i watch a video how to make feed n wax tx
OK, do any of these kill mold or keep it away ?, I have an old clock cabinet and don't want to ruin the finish with vinegar or bleach and water solutions.
No. They absolutely won’t kill mold. Mold is very difficult to kill.
@@FluxCondenser Can I wipe with Tea Tree Oil or Linseed oil ?, I hear they kill mold, I would suspect they won't harm the wood or finish.
You can try, but I’m not an expert in mold removal so can’t advise you.
I would like to see it after a week. Is there a good place to buy Howards ?
You won’t be disappointed. I applied it nine months ago to the Walsh 2 speaker and it still looks as good as it did then. I get it from Amazon.
Home Depot
Home Depot and Lowes sell it
Does Parker and Bailey's lemon oil penetrate over polyurethane finished furniture?
Not much. Poly is almost a sealant, so little can penetrate. If the poly is scratched and dull though, these products can fill those in leaving a shine. The better product for poly would be the Howards.
@@FluxCondenser thanks!
I use the Liquid Gold a lot different than this . I let it soak and after a few hours it is gone . This penetrates the fiber and gives the wood a look of depth that dry wood lacks . It is not really a surface treatment . Any product that leaves a surface needs to be used with caution as it can build up and leave a milky appearance after a few applications .
Interesting. My experience with liquid gold is that it doesn’t benefit from leaving it on for more than a few minutes and needs to be wiped away. This is what’s recommended in the instructions. I’d be surprised that after a few hours liquid gold would disappear and not require a wipe down. Doing so would leave a nice shiny surface, but it would be greasy and show fingerprints.
Products with silicone can leave a milky appearance, but the Feed-n-wax won’t. It’s a combination of beeswax, carnauba wax and orange oil.
@@FluxCondenser Try it ! There might be a litte to remove after a few hours depending on the porosity of the substrate . Most of the product will be absorbed .
In my experience with my antique radio collection, liquid gold, especially when left on, stays greasy and somewhat invites dust and dirt to stick to the area. Howard's soaks in and you're left with natural beeswax that seals the wood and really gets down into the pours of the wood after buffing, essentially sealing and protecting the wood. But to each their own.
Is this good for acoustic guitar?
Hm. Not sure. Those tend to have more of a poly, high-gloss finish and I’d be concerned about fingerprints. It might be worth a shot, but this is better for stained or natural wood, not poly-coat.
😊😊
What about weiman
Which product? Not familiar with them except some of their car care products which are just meh.
Yeah I can't trust this video. To me not a true comparison video if you don't leave the products on the same amount of time. This doesn't seem fair to me. The lighting is focusing mostly on the left side so can't see the wood on the right side as well because the lighting is darker.
the lighting was not equal
The light was evenly distributed and did not affect the results. I even shined a flashlight (equally) on each section.
I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
