Watco finish restorer is similar to Howard's I believe and available at Lowe's. I used the Restorer on my A25's but used the Watco walnut Danish oil on my Nova 10's. I used mineral spirits to clean some marks off first then used the danish oil with 0000 steel wool working with the grain. The walnut oil is darker and added some nice pigment to the faded wood. I was real happy with the results. I waxed them a day or two later with a wax I make from walnut oil and beeswax but there are lots of good waxes out there once you get them cleaned up.
