Do repair markers or pencils work on scratched poly-coated wood?

Let me start by saying this was not the most scientific test. It was merely my experience after receiving several suggestions that these two products would work on my scratched and dinged up poly-coated dark stained poplar wood chairs. If you saw my earlier video on “Where Restore-A-Finish Works Best” you know that these chairs are not shellac or lacquer topped. Also, in that video I also mention the best way to repair the damage was to sand it back, reapply stain and then a topcoat. The good news with this adventure, I found “Polyshades” to be very helpful for a change! (Note: In my opinion that product has been hard to get nice results from it.)
Products used:
Wood Blend-Fill Pencil: amzn.to/3xI9aLg
Stain Marker: amzn.to/44alSOX
POLYSHADE amzn.to/4b0Xem3
What I should have used - Satin amzn.to/3WaWuGY

Nice comparison video, there is so many products out there. Poly shades must be like restore a finish? I have a beautiful wierd, unique table that has one scratch in it, so i think i will try the stain liquid pen and/or some restore a finish on it. Crazy how i have all those products and never know which one will work best.

Do a rubbing alcohol test. If stain comes off you can use Restore A Finish…otherwise with a poly finish you are stuck like I was with these 😉

Great comparison video Margie! I dislike polyshades too. Its tough to work with BUT ive used it successfully to create faux wood grain..because of its thick consistency its easy to create because you can see all the brush strokes haha!! Sorry to hear about your kitty Margie.. hugs ❤😢
