No doubt the result of a sophisticated finishing process (RF cured maybe).
Best bet is to massage the area with Briwax original, which contains
(well, USED to contain) enough volatile solvent to cut through most
finishes, and buffs up to a decent shine



I'll try that, but there are areas that will need a good sanding first
so I'll be down to bare wood.



Whatever you go for try it out on a small hidden area first.

Is it highly polished ?

If not I would try coating the bared areas with shellac or sanding sealer. Water based sanding sealer would be the handiest. Then after a light sand down I'd give it a coat of wax applied with wire wool and then plenty of elbow grease for each succeeding coat of wax.
