>It has a higher concentration of thinners in it. It's intended to clean the surface and then add a little of the good stuff to the finish. IMHO you could use Danish Oil and receive the same or better results.

>I got this from Watco: it kinda answers the question:

"The Watco Rejuvenating oil is designed to introduce new oil into the wood while at the same time loosen any dirt, wax, grime etc. that can accumulate on an oiled surface. After wetting the surface and allowing the finish to sit just wipe the excess from the surface to remove the excess along with any dirt or contaminates that have accumulated. You can thin the Natural with mineral spirits but it will not give the same results that you will achieve using the Rejuvenating oil."
