One of your customers mentioned that this product will eventually remove the finish on my kitchen cabinets. Is this true ? If so, why would I use it ???

That is not correct. This is a great product. It will actually preserv the finish on any wooden surface. I've been using it on over 500 pieces of furniture on the company that I work for over 5 years with amazing results!!!

Have not used it enough yet, it was recommended by a furniture Refinisher who came to our house. The few times used, I see it leaves a film and it shows fingerprints.

I have used Oz for the last 8 years. It is a great product and contrary to what someone told you, the reason I use it is because it does not leave any residue and protects my finest furniture. I have never seen any evidence of OZ doing anything other than providing the best protection of any product I have ever used.

Well, clearly I do not know what the finish on your kitchen cabinets is so I can't comment, but I have been using Oz polish for 50 years and I find it the most amazingly wonderful polish I have ever used.I use it on furniture, floors, cabinets, wood picture frames, window frames, etc. I try the less expensive polishes every once in a while (just to save money) but when I want something to look as good as it possibly can, I always use Oz polish.

I have not used on white cabinets, only stained or antique finishes. For my painted white bathroom cabinets I just use a mild soap and water, and never thought about using this product there. I would try it maybe on a place where it won't show if it does not work out.

I think no matter what product you use to clean the cabinets, you need to sand and prime.....sorry, I know that takes more time:(. Chalk paint may be worth considering.

Not sure. I have another cabinet from a different company which has the same problem as yours. I think that it depends on where the mirror is touched and that's where it could wear off. So when I did get my cabinet from Kohler I decided to keep the plastic corner "protector" on (that's used with packaging). Not pretty but it prevents wear on mirror and sharp corner if accidently left open. Hope this is a little helpful.

The tutorial I used via Pinterest showed very dark finished cabinets which I don't think would let the grain show through. This isn't the look I wanted.So I put the stain on fairly heavily, waited 3 minutes (don't let it dry) and wiped off. You can add all the coats you want to get the look you want. I used four on some things but only two on others. The stain still shows through on my pieces and I am very happy with the result. I also wanted to have a faint red finish which with the way I did it I do. Not in your face red, just a hint. I LOVE the Java stain.

If the finish is partial stripped I think you need more than a cleaner. I refinish a lot of furniture. I would recommend using Fornbys Furniture refinisher. This product removes finish without bleaching or removing the the natural color of the wood. I have used this when partial area of surfaces have been damaged and I do not need to strip the entire surface. It does not raise the grain so sanding is seldom required. Find a matching stain and blend in, then a protective sealer finisher of your choice......tung oil or polyurethane. It is easy to tape off the damaged area and repair. Howard Clean -A -Finish is a great cleaner for dirt, nicotine, and grease but I do not know if it would adequately remove mold. They also sell a finish restorer but without seeing the damage incurred I am unable to determine if this would work for you. Good luck.

I use barkeeper's friend on all the stainless steel in my kitchen. It's the only thing I've found so far that makes things look like new and doesn't leave streaks. It's great for sinks and pans, but kind of a pain to use on stoves, fridges, dishwashers since it's a powder that you have to wet, then rub all over, then rinse off. I just get it at the grocery store. It comes in a tube container like comet.

Be careful this stuff can react with some wood finishes. Just pulled some off an armoire shelf and most of it came off but the rest is proving hard to get off. Trying to google a fix now.

I would not use this product in the kitchen or really anywhere. We did our kitchen and it looks really bad. There are areas where it does look great but many places like the backwash where it just does not adhere like it is advertised. Actually working on getting a refund from Rust-Oleum and now we have to go out and buy new countertops because it just looks bad. I think small places it might work but I would not risk it.

It gives a more real cabinet finish as opposed to regular semi gloss paint and does not require a primer. If you use regular paint (semi-gloss) you must prime first! Good luck!

I wouldn't know why it would make A difference. It took us two weeks to do all of our cabinets and they look great. Ask your do-it-yourself home store, they should know or contact rust-oleum.

I've looked over the bottle and it doesn't really say anything about wood cabinets. Probably the best thing to do is to test this product on an inconspicuous part of the cabinet to see if it can clean without any damage.

In my opinion.. I don't think I would use it for countertops...cabinets maybe..but I don't know how it would hold up on counters, but like I said that is just my opinion. It is a good product to work with though. We used Minwax for the stain and also Minwax for the sealant. Worked pretty good.

with any product they will tell you to try it in a spot that wont matter so much if it strips off the varnish. will it strip off the varnish or finish? if it does it should be sold in a different catagory. like all cabinet finishes over time they start to flake and you wont see this until you wipe it away, same thing happens when you use an area over and over it gets dirty you clean it and your down to the wood nothing you can do about that put keep the cabinets protected with products like scotts furniture polish which is a good cleaner to boot

This won't remove the stain, it removes the varnish. If you like the color then seal it. if not stain it the color you want. Good luck

I would imagine it would take off the protective finish. You may want to google the manufacturer and posit the question.Hope this helps. I've used it for the final polish on lacquer and shellac guitar finishes with excellent results
