This is the best stock finish I have ever seen or used.

The sealer penetrates extremely deep into the wood and when finished you get a rock hard satin finish that resists scraches and looks amazing. To do it right it takes several applications of wet sanding with the sealer as the "wet"to fill the pores and then the finish itself but the results are worth it if you are willing to take your time.
