We have an OLD dining room set. The table top has "issues". It has a "film" on it from years of pledge. Also, there are some spots that are dull. I think its mahhgany? Its dark.

What can I do to clean it up and restore a nice shine to it?

Thanks!

I would try some steel wool on it first, It might come clean real easy, if you're lucky. When you are ready to seal it use minwax wipe on sealer. It is real easy to work with and does not smell up your house. You can't mess up with this stuff, its too easy. Good luck.

Hi, StaticFX!

You can probably also do a "rejuvenation" finishing on it using condition-specific cleaners, perhaps a lacquer-based stain and then a low-solids lacquer like Deft. But, I would like to know more about the actual condition of the finish before describing to you how to do that.

Could you post any images of it on this thread, please?

Thanks!

I fogot I posted this... lol

I'll see if I can snap a pic or two and post them

Overall the finish is pretty good. Just some areas aren't as well off (especially on the top of the chair backs.. when peoples hands go when pulling out the chair)

Posting images would be good! I've also forgotten about some threads that I've started...

Thanks!
