Preserve the Beauty of Your Gerstner Chest
Your Gerstner tool chest is more than just storage—it’s an heirloom built to last for generations. To keep it looking pristine, trust the Gerstner Finish Restorer and Preserver. This versatile formula is used in our own restoration process, so you know it delivers professional results every time.
Protect and Maintain New Chests
Start caring for your chest the right way from day one. The Finish Preserver creates a protective barrier that guards against scratches, abrasions, and everyday wear. Its fine oil formula gently cleans, polishes, and protects while enhancing the natural beauty of the wood. With monthly application using a clean cotton cloth, your Gerstner chest will always maintain its original shine and smooth finish.
Restore Older Chests with Ease
Bring new life to vintage Gerstner tool chests with the same formula our craftsmen use in-house. As a Finish Restorer, it lifts away years of dirt, grime, and buildup on top of existing finish. Simply apply it with steel wool, working with the grain, to reveal the chest’s original finish beneath. This product even works on the classic leatherette surfaces used in earlier Gerstner models, making it the perfect solution for restoring both wood and leatherette. The Gerstner Finish Restorer and Preserver only works with existing finish, this does not add finish to raw wood.
A Trusted Formula for Generations
Whether you want to preserve a brand-new chest or restore a well-loved heirloom, the Gerstner Finish Restorer and Preserver is an essential care product. Conveniently packaged in an 8 oz. bottle, it’s easy to apply and designed for lasting results. With regular use, your Gerstner chest will continue to shine with the timeless beauty and craftsmanship it deserves.

WOW!!! Great stuff. One application, my chest looks new again! It’s well worth the money to buy and use. I definitely recommend it.

Really excellent for cleaning and preserving the wood on your favorite tool chest.
But the bottle is terrible. Should be sealed much better, it leaks and the threads strip. A plastic seal inserted in bottle neck
that squirts out when bottle is squeezed would work. Please redesign or use different type of bottle.
Thank you

Introducing a new bottle that seals better. We also seal the bottle in a plastic bag for traveling to help avoid leakage.

I had a question about proper use of his product and received a great deal of personal attention right up to the VP of production. When used as directed it’s a great product. Its intention is to cover small scratches, but not to restore the lacquer finish. It has to be wiped off very thoroughly with a clean cloth or it will leave a film. Once I understood its proper use I’m very pleased with it.
