If the varnished/lacquered finish is looking a bit dull I like to rejuvenate it with a few passes of T-Cut. In my experience this brings the old finish right up.

I follow this up with a bottle of suitably coloured scratch cover. This is essentially a wax polish dissolved in a solvent. A few passes should do.

I finish this off with a good quality neutral wax polish from a tin. I use Antiquax because I was given an old unused tin from 1993. A nice shine can be developed with lots of elbow grease.

After doing this you will never want to use Mr Sheen again!
