Hi, I have a wood dining table which has a satin like finish that I have
been using cork-backed place mats on to protect the table and shine.
The problem is that the cork-backed place mats have dulled the shine
underneath them. Is there anything I can use to restore the shine?

The instructions that came with the table said to just use a damp cloth to
clean it.

Thanks, Janice

Try some toothpaste on a cotton bud.

Or some brasso on a bud, but be careful it is a nice seal as you do
not want the rubbing paste to go in any holes in the surface as it
will look terrible.
