Keep in mind that the purpose of Restor-A-Finish is to restore an EXISTING finish. If your goal is to improve the shine, we recommend following up with our Restor-A-Shine products. If you are looking for added protection, we recommend following up with our Citrus Shield Paste Wax products or Feed-N-Wax. However, if you have areas where the original finish is missing or you are simply intent on putting on a “clear coat finish” (ie. lacquer, shellac, or varnish) the Restor-A-Finish must be completely dried as any residue will interfere with the new topcoat. So if you know you will be applying a new finish, wipe Restor-A-Finish on and wipe off quickly. Do not let it soak. A polyurethane finish should NOT be used over Restor-A-Finish as it will not let this type of topcoat finish dry.
