Universal Maintenance Oil is used to increase the sheen (approx. satin) and nourish wood finished with Rubio Monocoat Oil, giving it a fuller look. It can also be used to convert floors with other oils to a Rubio Monocoat floor.
*Once Universal Maintenance Oil has been applied to a surface, future maintenance must be performed using Universal Maintenance Oil.
- If color restoration and sheen enhancement is not required, use Renew.
- If color restoration is required, perform a renovation using Oil Plus 2C in the original color.

Built a trestle table with white oak. I started with the Oil Plus 2C in chocolate - and finished it with the maintenance oil to give it a slight increase in sheen. So easy to use - which makes it even better. Overall, it came out great. More importantly, the customer loved it. I will definitely use it again.
It goes on well, much easier to use than stain. But the matte finish doesn't work for what I do. It just doesn't look like a final finish. It's dull with absolutely no sheen. The universal maintenance coat brings it to a very light sheen, which was just enough to pass muster. Over-all I was expecting a nicer one coat finish, but maybe that's just to good to be true. I would recommend this product with the caveat that it is more than the cost of stain and poly, but you do save time using it.
It is a great product, I got a natural finish on my furniture projects.
We updated our kitchen, and replaced our granite countertop around our sink with 2" thick walnut. First, it was treated with Rubio Monocoat, and looked good, but after applying the Universal Maintenance oil, it looked stunning. The soft sheen really highlights the color variations and grain of the wood.
Rubio Monocoat pure on black walnut! Magnificent! Later rubbed with maintenance oil!
