Default Final coat of Spar Urethane on my bar top - now what?

I've finished putting the final coat of Helmsman on my bar top and it
looks absolutely stunning!


Cool. Congrats.

I've read
that my next step should be to wet sand with a 400 grit, then hit it
with an automotive polishing compound.



Not really. Your next step is to wait. Any finish will buff out better when
fully cured. The can website says 24 hour dry time, but it will continue to
cure for up to a month.

Patience is your friend. Maybe you will choose to buff it out, maybe leave
it alone. Either is fine.

I suggest some "beer resistance" testing in the interrim :-).
