Wood Veneer

I wonder, because I will try most anything.....do you think that you could use that Thompson's product that is made for restoring wood fences to their original color? It is a cleaner/sealer and makes wood look new again....just wondering...seems like wood is wood.

Back in the 70's, I owned a '65 Crown Coupe. The majority of the wood veneer
was in pretty good shape, the door panels had a little water damage. I tried
some wood oil that my mother had for at least a decade or more. I recall the
oil had a kind of cherry aroma and had a red hue, but I forget the brand
now. I tried it on the veneer pieces on my dash and door panels and was
impressed at the restoration of the color of the wood.
These pieces of veneer are wafer thin, 'refinishing' could be overkill when
a surface treatment restores the color and softens the surface to relieve
the raised, dry grain.
Thats my buck and a half on the subject.
