Minwax PolyShades is an oil-based wood stain and polyurethane finish combined in one product, designed to enhance wood grain while providing long-lasting protection. This two-in-one formula streamlines your finishing work by eliminating the need for separate stain and polyurethane applications, saving time on your woodworking projects.
One of the standout features of PolyShades is its ability to work over existing finishes. You can update the color of cabinets, furniture, and woodwork without removing the old finish first, making it ideal for refresh projects where stripping and sanding may be impractical. The Classic Oak color in a gloss sheen brings out the richness and warmth of the wood, creating a beautiful, professional-looking result on a variety of surfaces.
