Herself's philosophy is if its damaged, redecorate! Over the years I found her way is cheaper than trying to buy an identical part through the manufacturer.

Probably my best choice. Thanks all I'll give this a try.

We also use it each year on our oak cabinets. Makes them glow and preserves the wood. Our cabinets have a very light sheen on them and the product appears to soak into the wood.

Tried the old English, does not stain or stick to the fake trim

If it is the door, you can either replace the entire door (provided you can find one the same size) or buy a sheet of wood veneer. Veneer can be purchased in almost any wood type, in various sizes and can be glued to the door surface. Some veneers are supplied with the glue attached and can be bonded to the door using an iron. After the installation, it can be stained and finished to match the existing woodwork. Good luck.

They are small squares, six of them, tacked on to the door.

Try using some Old English first....see if that makes it acceptable. Cheapest attempt.

If that doesn't work, there are several repair 'kits' available such as Amish Milk Cleaner and 'N Hance available at Home Depot. N Hance works pretty well.

I wipe all my wood down with Old English every year during my annual maintenance. Makes it look good all year with minimum effort......Dennis
