Just wondering if any Avion owners have discovered a matching stain and or way to rejuvenate/recondition the original cabinet finish. Thought I’d check before I go through all the research and testing.
Thanks.

Can't help you with a stain, but if the cabinets have a natural finish, that is, not varnished or urethane covered, a product named "Feed n Wax" will work well. Made the cabinets in the Stretch look like new.

I used a product called Tung Oil and the final finish. I had removed all the brown finish of the cabinets of Mour 77 Eleganza II cabinets and applied the finish X2 and it was perfect. It let the grain of the red oak really shine.
