hardwood floors
 
I've got to clean up the hardwood floors in an older house.
Basically, the old finish is worn off in the traffic areas.

What's the best product to use to "restore" the looks and protection
without doing a fullscale sand and polyurethane?

If its worn through and greyed it has to be sanded or it will look bad

Paint. Use Porch and Deck enamel.
There is no shortcut to a restoration if the finish is worn.

Cover with rugs or runners until you get time to do it right, which
means sand/refinish.
Come on, now...you knew there was no band-aid shortcut for this job,
didn't you?

Kinda depends on how bad it is. You can make it look better if not too bad
(not grey with dirt etc) with some of the hard waxes for floors, at least
for a bit. Long term, probably needs sanding g.
