Furniture, Wood and Cabinetry Finishing - Refinishing Damaged Table

I have a Cassina MIR table that we use for a dining room table. I've no idea how to describe the finish as I know very little about wooden furniture, hence why I'm here! It had a shinier? surface but I used 409 (bad idea, I know now) to clean some spots and they completely dulled the finish in those particular spots. How is this fixed? Do I oil it down with something like tung oil and then wax it completely? Will it be uniform? Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks.

Store bought table with the finish already on it? Probably lacquer. May need to be refinished but another coat of lacquer might make a big difference.

Mitch is probably right about the finish - if so, here's a CHEAP
solution.

Get a can of Turtle wax scratch remover and polishing compound - that's ONE product in a flat green can.

Apply according to directions to restore the sheen.

BTW: You'll have to do the entire top to achieve a uniform sheen - a lot of elbow grease, but very little cost.

PS: When you're finished with the table you can attack your car!

For anyone else who may see this post - it's my favorite way to remove minor abrasion/wear marks from any lacquer finished surface - which includes almost all mfg'd pieces.

Hey guys,

First - thank you for the responses.

I believe, after doing a little more research, that the table was just oiled. When I said shin"ier", that inferred too much shininess.
