<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 9743267, member: 37"]Any wax or polish can be removed with mineral spirits. It should not touch lacquer or varnish underneath. It may dull the finish but a new coat of paste wax should restore the shine. I have not heard of buffing finishes with compound but suppose it would work. Would be concerned about compound residue getting into cracks, and woodgrain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
