I have a formal dining room wood table with a cherry finish. Something seems to have etched itself into the finish, either a cleaning product my wife used or something else. There are streaks that look like the table was washed with a dirty cloth. Without completely stripping or sanding this table is there any way to take it down to the finish and then re-wax it.

Try a little mineral spirits on a clean terry cloth towel. Test in an inconspicuous spot first. If the finish is old the spirits should not harm it but will clean off most everything else.

Did not touch the problem. Thanks for the try
