Are there different shades of this product? I need to cover scratches on a dark cherry stained hardwood floor.

No, there are not different shades of this product. The Tibet Almond Stick has a better reputation for fixing scratches in lighter woods. I have not tried it on dark cherry stained wood.

Depends on the extent of the damage. This product wipes on, shines the wood with a dark wax, but fill in dings beautifully -- they actually look good, like old English furniture. Large areas can be treated, then wiped and lightly polished. The result of this stuff on furniture is nothing short of amazing. I build furniture and use it on everything I make regardless of the stain color. And dark brown is the only shade I use. I know that 70's woodwork and Briwax might make it look more classic and like antique furniture. But if there are only a few dings a filler stick in the right color might be enough but wont give you the incredible sheen of Briwax. Hope this helps. Depends on the extent of the damage.

I used this product on an old black slate floor which I had stripped off 35 years of cheap sealant. It does a beautiful job. I then used Miracle Matte to bring out better color. I can 't speak to your exact situation , but it is a wonderful product .

Dark Expresso would be the best answer. I love the way it went on. Takes at least 3 coats. Rubbed on a satin clear top coat. You can see a slight grain.

Hi Linda, I do not know if this stain can be tinted. I used it on beadboard paneling, as is. I recommend using the pre-treatment product first, as it preps the wood nicely, like a primer. Then use one or more coats ot the stain, depending on how much wood grain you want showing through. I like this product and recommend it. Grace

This is a high pigmented furniture polish that will absorb in any porous surface, so if you put it on a table that is well warn it will leave a lot of the dark color, much like a stain. I put it on a dark stained wooden front door that weathers during the year. This polish will soak into the surface and make the door look much more presentable. It won't replace a stain but works well to revitalize a dark wood surface that shows some wear.

Sorry, so far I've only used it on our Oak kitchen cabinets and they turned out lovely. I don't have anything Cherry. So sorry to hear what happened.

There's a special solution just for wood floors. The bottle is brownish in color. I think it's a new product. I tried it, and it's better than using the regular cleaner on it.

On one order, the dark Bruce was sent by mistake and we tried a small area on our light oak floor. It was not pretty at all, in fact, ugly. If you want to darken your light floor, find another product. I would suspect that you would need to sand and then apply a stain. BUT, DO A TRIAL AREA FIRST!

No, it does not give the high shine I was looking for. I first used it straight but it made my floor sticky. Now I use it diluted (1/2 water) and it leaves the floor less tacky (but still is a little). No shine. For hardwood floor, I used to use Pinesol (diluted) and I received many compliments that my floor was shiny. For other surfaces, I find Bona Multisurface works the best and it gives the surface sheen with no stickiness.

That depends, somewhat, on the finish and the material of your existing floor. Hardwoods have different characteristics than softer woods. Tru Oil is not a stain, it's a petroleum-based sealant and it will not hide, or mask, gouges. Tru Oil will not change the finish of the gouged areas. After application, it will appear uniform.

Ours is actually the cherry color-very nice color! We have oak trim but wanted something a little different now that they are showing darker wood stains. Hope you like it!

I don't know. I sometimes use it to cover the end grain on high-end decks made of Red Cedar. Some of my brush strokes have missed and hit the top of boards. When I've stained it later the effects were minimal. Sure try sanding.

I have wood floors that were damaged by my 10 year old dragging a chair back and forth over the same area many, many times.. the floors were actually almost white where the scratches were... I wiped this stuff over the area, and the worn areas were gone! It was a bit shiny for a day... and now a month later.. no scratches.. and no obvious marks around where the Restor-A-Finish was used.

To be honest, I don't know. However, their website states, "Protects and Shines Hardwood, Laminate, Vinyl, Tile, and Stone." Therefore, until researching the product further, I would not use this product. My suggestion would be to contact the company directly with this question. Hope this helps and good luck!

Yes. Great color. Also diff woods will give u diff color as well. I typically use Apple but I've done oak and pecan and it had a good mahogany color. U can also just add paprika to any rub and will add color but not much of a taste

I have a dark walnut desk next to it which blends nicely. It is very similar but I would best describe it as a little brighter cherry walnut type finish. This may be more confusing than helpful.
