I personally love the stuff......ESPECIALLY if combined with the howards "feed-n-wax"

my 37-650X BEFORE the howards treatment

and these are AFTER an application of the restore in "walnut" color and the feed-n-wax followed by a hand-buffing

that being said.........if you want a "factory fresh brand-new looking" finish howards IS NOT for you........

it gives it a more "well taken care of original but still 70+ years old" finish which I personally prefer (but thats just my opinion and you know what opinions are like)
