When you say to immediately remove the excess finishes, as in a table
top, are you saying to remove just the section you've just applied the
finish to? Or, are you saying to cover the whole table top and then
remove the excess.

Depends upon how big the table top is (and also the temperature and
humidity), but IME with gel stains it is best to do a small area, say an
area no larger than couple of square feet, wipe that down immediately,
then overlap to next same size area.

As your wiping rag gets impregnated a bit, you may be able to stretch
that somewhat, before you change to a new rag, but then it's back to the
smaller area with a new wipe down rag.

As always, YMMV.
