    Solving Dull finish

    I'm pleased to know the water marks were solved, now let's solve the dull problem. Judging from your comments, the finish is shellac which is particularly vulnerable to water damage and surface wear. What has happened is you used the correct amount of product for the water damaged areas and too much on the rest. The solution is as follows.
    Apply Wood Elixir with a cloth. Enough to make the surface damp but not wet. Do an area that you can reach without moving. (About two feet square) Apply with steady pressure and keep the cloth moving constantly during application. Do this for about 5 min. and wipe dry (very important). Continue for this for the rest of the table being sure to overlap the treated areas. Leave it to cure for at least 2 hours or even overnight and then buff. This is a gradual process much like French Polishing and consequenty, the more you rub the brighter the result.
