This Restored The Finish On My Exterior Door Handle
I love this product--It worked great in a time of desperation.Our family was getting over the flu so we were spraying everything with lysol. When we sprayed our new front door knob and handle (which was a dark rubbed bronze finish, the lysol completely destroyed the finish leaving a light, cloudy, matte finish. It was awful and terribly ugly. I desperately looked on line to see if there was a fix and I found that others had run into the same trouble. One blogger I came across said she had tried this product and it helped a lot. So I thought I'd give it a shot. The product was not very expensive, so when I got it I went to work. I masked off the door around the door knob and handle, and rubbed the stuff on. I let it sit for a minute or two and buffed it, and it gave my door handle a darker and shiny look--not too different from the original. It is not as good as the original surface, but it is a HUGE improvement, and not noticeable to visitors any more.I had never heard of this product before that blog post. It is a hassle to clean up since it is not water soluble, but that is what makes it a good choice for the my exterior door handle. Now that I know of this product I will keep it in mind for other restorative and artistic applications. I know they have other colors too.

Saved me from needing to replace hinges
I needed black hinges to match my new black kitchen cabinet handles. I knew I wasn't up for the task of replacing hinges on 27 cabinet doors, if I could even find new hinges that matched the configuration of the old ones! Fortunately, I found a YouTube video suggesting the use of Ebony Rub and Buff for this kind of task. I took one hinge off and used it as a guide to make a pattern out of uncut stencil plastic which allowed me to make a shield to fit around the hinges and protect the cabinet wood from smudges. It worked quite well, and I'm very pleased with the outcome. After a few days, the Rub and Buff set up and hardened onto the metal surfaces, so I consider the project a success, and I expect they will provide longterm durability.

didnt work at all
I tried this as recommended and it does not work on metal at all I put this on a faucet the way I read on every website to tell me how to use this and this product did not go on the way intended this was gritty and seemed to be separated from some of the solution since some paste and a clear liquid came out separated at the same time. I even tried to squeeze some out onto a glass plate and mix them together to see if it was just due to separation and that didn't do anything to help. This is not at all the product I thought id get after researching for hours on how to use this and reading a lot of reviews from other users I expected more from this.very disappointed I had to buy a new faucet after putting this on mine cause it stuck well like it should to part of my faucet and caked up and flaked in other parts of the faucet. will never buy this again

Rub n Buff Wax - great product
Replaced living room furniture and needed to "tone down" a brown curio that I wanted to keep. Rub n Buff worked great. I've used it for years on different projects and am always pleased with the results.

Messy!
The media could not be loaded. I have a beautiful large mirror from the 1990’s but it did not match my style. I decided to use this product to make it black and more vibrant in my room. This was VERY messy and I recommend using gloves. The drying time was longer than I expected too. I almost rub it off when it touched but I believe that was the material I used it on. It was difficult to spread around on a busy surface. I also didn’t pay attention to the size of this product but I ended up using 7 of these little tubes.

A bit over priced for the small tube
Dries very quickly. Size was very small. Work in very small areas. Or you might not like the results. Work quickly. I probably need more practice. I may try a different color, if I don’t find something else. And hopefully I will get better results knowing what to expect.

Worked Great - Ebony
I bought a candy jar for a house warming gift. I had their names etched in glass, however, when I filled the jar with candy you could barely see the etching. After watching videos I bought the ebony rub 'n buff to make the etching more noticeably. I put on gloves and rubbed it over the etching using very little. Then immediately wiped off with a paper towel. It adhered to the etching, but not the smooth part of the glass. I applied it twice not seeing too much of a difference on the second application. Now when the jar is filled with candy you can see their names better.

The bomb
This stuff is the bomb! Such an easy way to update or change frames or other wooden items. Some metal works good but if it has a shiny surface you should try sanding it some or use a top coat of some kind. This review is specifically for Ebony color, but I also have Autumn Gold, which is a copper color. This is my favorite right now as I'm updating my living room with copper accents. I also have Spanish Copper. It is more brown than copper. Perhaps a really aged copper. I used it on a distressed, white, wood, decorative arrow and then highlighted with the Autumn Gold and it turned out great. I've also used the Spanish Copper over the Autumn Gold to tone it down and add dimension. I want to get the red to create a distressed copper look too. Have fun with it. The possibilities are endless!
