Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner, 64-Ounce

I LOVE this product. I recommend it to everyone. It does an amazing job of cleaning and protecting wood. It will even remove the appearance of light scratches and reduce the visibility of deep ones. Very effective. It makes everything shine. And it smells good!I uploaded some before and after pictures. I used nothing but this product.

I have just had my kitchen countertops replaced with butcherblock. The installer recommended Bees Wax by Howards. I ran to our local Home Depo and purchased all 4 bottles on the shelf at about ten dollars each for 16 oz. (he had said the raw wood would need to be treated several times before using them). I then found this 64 oz bottle on amazon and ordered it to keep on standby, the countertops will still need to be treated once a month. This seems to be working quite well so far.

Love this stuff been using it for years!

Bought to use for my wood furniture. Works so well I'm going to use it on my unfinished wood floors.

This transformed my friends 70 year old art desk into a beautiful piece of furniture. The wood was so dry and thirsty. This fed the wood, hid some flaws, and darkened it. I plan on doing my wood floors with it too.

Difficult to work with in terms of how much to put on the floor, and dry time, and time until no marks are seen

This is a simple wax and orange oil based furniture polish that works great. I've used it on furniture that I have built as well as furniture that I have purchased. It is a thick almost jello like consistency product that goes on easily. Apply let dry and then buff with a dry cloth (I use micro fiber). When applying, you will see it seep into the finish, the grain in the the applied area will look more pronounced, very nice. It dries totally dry, no residue, and it does leave a low sheen finish. You could use straight paste wax but I think this is a little easier to apply because of the consistency.

Good stuff, but it's best for furniture and not really for floors without some modification. With all the Howard products, it's a bit difficult to tell exactly what they're for. After using several of them, I think I can offer this advice (and forgive me if you've read this already – I've posted it in both product reviews):- the Orange Oil is primarily a cleaner. It will seep into unfinished or worn wood, but I imagine the luster will fade relatively quickly.- the Feed-N-Wax has some obvious beeswax mixed in (it's thick) and I think it's perfect for waxing furniture.I *don't* think the Feed-N-Wax is a good solution for floors, unless you're prepared to refresh the finish regularly. Beeswax is simply too soft. And it's not really for factory-finished wood floors at all... unless your floors were sanded flat and finished after installation, this is not a good solution for refreshing your finish – you'll want to look for something that's acrylic or polymer-based. That said, I find it puzzling that they promote Feed-N-Wax as a solution for flooring.We *do* use Feed-N-Wax on our floors (traditional oak flooring I layed down and sanded myself), but only after adding some carnauba wax (available here on Amazon). This is a bit tricky – you have to heat the carnauba flakes in a double boiler and then mix them with just enough Orange Oil/Feed-N-Wax to get it to dissolve. You might be surprised how much oil it takes to accomplish this (the carnauba wants to congeal unless enough oil is present). But once done, the wax is much, much more durable. Great for any horizontal surface, and no more slippery than beeswax on the floor.So we ended up buying a gallon of Orange Oil, a gallon of Feed-N-Wax, and a pound of carnauba flakes. We mix them as needed for the purpose at hand. And we're waxing furniture, architectural elements, picture frames... you name it. Everything looks great... it looks way glossy for 24 hours or so until the orange oil evaporates, but the glow or luster that remains (it's not much of a shine and definitely not a gloss) is truly deep and beautiful. Very organic and natural, both in looks and in essence. And it does indeed hide light scratches and add depth to the wood.I might add that it's also very easy to apply and basically foolproof. My wife has begun asking to use it on various furniture, and it can be an enjoyable, relaxing process, unlike a lot of finish/polish materials. Since it's such a soft finish it will need to be reapplied regularly in heavy traffic areas, but since it's a fun process you don't really mind.BTW, the company seems to also be behind the Touch of Oranges and Touch of Beeswax brands – they include promotion material for these products with every box.
