For this project, I used:

Use Furniture Markers

I start by using furniture markers to fill in any scratches, making sure to wipe over the spots with a Kleenex hand towel immediately after I marker them. These markers come in a variety of colors and I always test out the markers on an inconspicous spot first to see which color matches best.

Use Scratch Cover

For larger areas of damage or fading, I apply Old English brand scratch cover to a Kleenex hand towel and wipe it on the entire area. The scratch cover comes in two different colors, one for light wood and one for dark wood. I like to have both on hand and test them out on an inconspicuous spot to see which works best.

Finished!
