In my joy of all things vintage sewing machines, I often end up with cabinets that are less than beautiful. Lots of years of use and probably very little concern for looks. I enjoy looking at them as much as using them so I try to spiff them up a bit. I just came across this stuff today and am amazed at how easy it is to use, and how fast I got great results!
Here is the 48 cabinet that I got yesterday.

A bit beat up and faded (much like it's new owner.)
I did a quick job of the right half.

Then started on the top.

And after

Then the finished cabinet after maybe 10 minutes of work.

And the product that I used.

I will be using this on most of my cabinets from here on out!

I NEED this for my Vintage Singer cabinet. WOW What a difference it made in your cabinet. Thank you for sharing good info.

Oh, I should try a bottle of that stuff, it looks great.

I have used this product for many years, just want to add a hint that a cabinet maker gave me. If you are putting it on badly weathered wood, put a heavy coat on it, leave it for a day or two, then go back with a handful of clean paper towels and rub it off. Amazing.

Been using this product for years. I keep both the light and dark products. I do all my wood work and wood furniture every spring when I do my spring cleaning. I heat with wood for the winter, very drying in my house. Old English brings the shine right back. Wonderful stuff.
