Can I use this on furniture with stained wax finish? Will it "discolor" the stained wax finish? Thanks!

I have used it on stained wax finish and had zero problems but that does not necessarily mean yours is the same as mine. If I were you I would use caution and test it in a place on the back that is not seen in how you position the furniture piece.

I am not positive about a stained wax finish. What I can tell you is that I have used this polish successfully on antiques, on hand-rubbed/stained furniture made more recently and on other pieces of contemporary furniture and it worked well on all. If you have an out of the way spot, like the edge of a drawer or the back, try a sample. My guess is it will be fine.

sorry, I have only used it on furniture... it did dry very slowly on there though.

Friends used it on newly stained wooden counters and it looked great. I'm not sure if it depends on the type of stain -- and whether it interacts with the cream somehow? Maybe test it in a hidden area first, just to be sure?

I don't think so. I bought this to try to fix one small spot on a table top. I ended up having to take the entire finish off the table top and still have not been able to get the top to take new stain. I think I am going to have to take it to a professional furniture refinisher to get it to be presentable again. I will never use any Formby's product again. I emailed Formby's for help, and they basically told me I had misused the product and wouldn't help. I followed the directions to the letter. Good luck.

I don't really know - I think that I would do some online researching and/or ask a paint store. The board cream is essentially oil and beeswax. I would think that this would not harm the stained surface or remove the stain. Perhaps you can try it on the table underside. The Boos cream WILL darken the wood. It would be nice to learn what you discover/do.

I have only spot cleaned with a barely damp rag. But honestly the stains on the wood didnt come out so as per advice of my dad, I used simple wax stain from hardware store and rubbed into wood twice till smooth. Then let kids play with it. It takes on a different sheen the more they touch it and the stains are hardly noticeable now. You could also lightly sand and then light stain the wood.

This can be used over a gel stain on wood. I stained my bathroom cabinets and used two coats of the polyacrylic satin over the gel. It went on smoothly and effortless. Gave a very nice finish!

I just use a damp cloth. It's not real wood so furniture polish would not be absorbed. It would leave it oily.

I also have white washed furniture and oak cabinets. I have used the oil on them and there has not been a change in the color.It just makes it glow like you want. It is terrific and brought my dried out wood back to life.

I use this product exclusively on my Mahogany Duncan Phyfe Dining table with no ill effects. The man that made the new top for my table (I wanted a wider, bigger table, so I used the original pedestals and had a new top made) insisted that we use only Oz on the wood. It cleans nicely and does not leave a waxy residue. It hasn't effected the finish or the quality of shine at all. If it works on my table, it should work on your cabinets as well. BTW, I've used Oz for three years.

I did not put any stain on mine. I put teak oil on a similar piece of furniture but not on this chaise and had no problem.

My furniture guy used turtle wax (clear) on our table. Let it dry overnight, then applied the briwax.

I used the arm-R-Seal on all the bedroom furniture I built. I tried the Gel Top Coat & it did not have a smooth looking finish. I also used Java Gel Stain on all the same furniture with all positive results.

I think what may suit your needs better is BriWax. Use it with 0000 steel wool - both to put on and rub off. Use a clean piece of steel wool after this process and your cabinets will polish up beautifully. I use it on all my older furniture to remove dirt or dullness that comes with age. It comes in colors but I always use the neutral/clear "color." It will take some "elbow grease" but you won't be disappointed.

This product will remove varnish and leave stain, but it's odor is very strong. Need lots of ventilation. I would use Formby's Tung Oil. It comes in low gloss, or high gloss, you can apply it with a sponge brush, or rub it in with lint free cloths. It leaves a beautiful finish, hides scratches. Just sand out imperfections before applying.

I don't know. I only used it on outdoor furniture pads. But it caused discoloration, so I would be very careful in using it.

Read the directions and/or call the company. I would not use it on wood furniture personally. I use it for stainless steel only.
