    Does anyone know how these things actually work?...

    I think the restor a Finish is the one I used and seems like a good product. There are only a few on the market and one is outrageously priced.

    The literature says that it contains mineral oil, solvent, and stain. Mineral oil is apparently an oil that is derived from petroleum.
