Default Wood cleaning & advice, please!

Hi everyone,

I have an old family piece which I've stored in my warehouse for the
last 12 months whilst I was having various rooms in the house done up -
it's a HUGE piece, so easier to have it out the way!

I carefully wrapped it in shrinkwrap to seal it, and keep the dust out.
I opened it up today and somehow the shrinkwrap has ripped and a
considerable level of dust and general crap has formed on the top
section.

What's the best way to clean this off - it isn't wiping off cleanly, it
feels more "waxy" almost - so it'll need a little effort to bring it
back. Any special type of cleaner to use, or just a damp cloth and then
protect it with something?

Also, I have a wooden chest of drawers and the wooden runners cause the
drawer to judder and drag terribly when you use them. Tried vaseline on
them but that didn't help much - what else should I try to free these
off?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dave.
