Well on this episode of Kayla's Must-Have Products*, I introduce you to this miracle-working $5 polish that restores wood surfaces and helps to hides scratches (aka a product of MY DREAMS).

*This is not a real thing, I just have a lot of cleaning items (and opinions) I use, swear by, and want to talk about with anyone who will listen.

It's basically a fancy formula that fills in nicks to make wood look shiny and new again — and boy, has it done that for a ton of happy customers! Just take it from Amazon: It has over 900 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, plus the review photos to prove that it freakin' works.

"This stuff really brought some of my old furniture back to life. It fills in the discoloration from rings and nicks etc. It is easier to use than a stain because you don't have to sand anything or be perfect with application. I used a rag and just did a few layers on the surface. I used it on a table from Big Lots and also on an antique wood cabinet and it came out great on both." —Ashley Bouchard

It's simple to use: Just apply a small amount of the polish onto a cloth and rub onto the wood in the direction of the grain, then wipe again with a dry rag to remove any excess formula.

"I seriously had very low expectations. We just bought a house and the wood doors looked like they got clawed by a tiny beast. I could barely see the directions and had limited time while baby was asleep so I used the microfiber cloth and just put a few dots and started rubbing it in and wowza! Seriously! Realistically, it doesn’t make the wood brand new but it does help fill in and cover up the blemishes. It’s a pretty small bottle but a little goes a very long way. This product has really impressed me." —nole gal

Now enough of my blabbering. Please, feast your eyes on these extremely satisfying before and after pics:

"I used this to treat a couple pieces of furniture, one that had only a few scratches, and one that was a train wreck. On the first one, it looked quite nice after applying. On the second one, I couldn't believe the difference it made! The 31-year-old (pine) piece was heavily worn and hadn't seen any real upkeep in its lifetime. After one application, the difference was like night and day. I definitely recommend this product to rejuvenate wood furniture. Like others have said, it doesn't REMOVE anything, but cleans and darkens blemishes so they visually blend in. I've now gone over all the wood furniture in our living room and the overall difference is remarkable." —icheckemout

HELLO, NEW DOOR!

"Awesome product that I wish I knew about it earlier. Our French door is my favorite feature of our house but the faded color and water marks bothers me. I know it's going to cost at least $200-$300 to hire people who specialize in restoring its beauty. I saw this polish at my local store and gave it a try and it makes a big difference. My door looks great. I love it and I will keep in stock for future use." —3beeblesmommy

Excuse me?!?!?! This will be the last one because I need to lie down.

"The photo attached says it all. I bought an old 1920s Victrola at a flea market. It worked, but was in ROUGH shape. I decided to give this product a try before stripping, sanding, and re-staining. So glad we did! It looks amazing. As others said, it does not remove scratches and gouges but covers and hides them significantly. Highly recommend getting this product if you have furniture that needs some love." —Buzzard Mom

Before I leave you, I want to mention that this polish is for darker woods, but fret not because there is a polish made for lighter wood surfaces!

amazon.com

And if you notice any unwanted dark spots from the polish, the same company makes a lemon oil that can reduce the dark stains and lighten them up. This lemon oil is also great for regular cleanings and for giving your wood surfaces extra protection!
