Your table has a lacquer finish and some are tougher than others. Yes, Wood Elixir will improve the appearance and add water protection but each treatment of Wood Elixir will add only a very thin membrane of finish. If this proves to be insuficient you can spay a new lacquer finish on (wait 2 days) after preping with Wood Elixir. For heavy use applications such as a table top, I suggest 2 coats. Look warm soapy water is all that is needed for cleaning.
