Beautiful jobs completed
I can't tell you when I bought my Minwax Polyshade, there's always some left in the can from a previous use, it's the only product I use! It always goes on smooth and cleans up nicely and the furniture looks beautiful!

Blah to elegant
I've only used Classic Black, (on kitchen cabinets) which I am guessing must be the easiest color with which to get consistent results. I applied two coats over existing poly. The oak wood grain looks great with the black satin. (Adding crown molding and satin hardware also helped). I believe most disappointed users are not carefully following the recommended application instructions.
