<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 4308162, member: 738"]Most bentwood was originally stained very dark, and usually of mixed woods. It is not the sort of form where the grain is showcased. If the finish looks dull, dingy or sticky but intact.... that is, no flaking, checking, gatoring or loss.. you can rub it gently with 0000 steel wool dipped in mineral spirits. Test in an inconspicuous area first! Wipe the liquefied gunk off with a soft rag as you go. That will remove any old wax and dirt build-up but not dissolve any finish. Follow with a good furniture wax and that should be enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
