<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 392913, member: 37"]If sticky, you might try cleaning with mineral spirits. Should not affect the finish but will remove any oil or wax. You may run in to gunk that the spirits will not cut. Those are usually water soluble. An ammonia based cleaner should work for this. you just don't want to get too much water on this. Wash it down and rub it dry immediately. You can be pretty liberal with the mineral spirits. Once clean, the finish will probably look dull and/or cloudy. A stain or restor-a-finish should take care of that. Once you get the finish where you want it and dry, put a coat of paste wax for extra protection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
