1. WD-40 and many minutes of scrubbing using a jointer
push block with several grades of 3M pads....

2. Clean with paper towels

3. Goto to step 1.

Do this until the top is shiny and finish with TopCote.

I left my Ridgid table saw in for repairs, the arbor was not straight, blade
wobble. Anyway when I picked it up the top was gunked up, like they put
something on top that leaked. So I was thinking of sanding it and then
applying a car wax. IS that the way to clean & protect (from rust)?
