It has alot of water marks, swirl marks and scratches on it. Any suggestions or home remedies to take these off my coffee table or atleast make it look less destroyed in the light? In the dark you cant see them so its ok than.
Thanks in advance!!!

At the hardware store…in the place where the wood stain is…you can find a relatively new product that is supposed to take care of the water marks etc.
I’ve never used it.

Here’s a quick fix that I used on mine. Go to a glass/mirror or window outlet & purchase a piece of 1/4″ plate glass cut slightly smaller than the dimensions of your table top. That way if it gets bumped it won’t get moved. Before you put it in place lay out a group of pictures etc. that will show through the glass & once the glass is in place it becomes a large photo gallery. Don’t use plexiglass because it will eventually haze from cleaning it & may warp if exposed to direct sunlight. The other good thing… You’ll never have to use coasters or worry about water stains & scratches ever again. The cost of the glass will be about the same as the materials to refinish the wood & far less than replacing the table… It makes for a great conversational piece also & the photos/pics can be updated constantly….

you can use a mr. clean to get all stains off and water rings and such, but be careful, it will take off the finish and take it down to the wood again…
the best thing to do would be re do it.
just take it out side, sand it , just re stain it and put some finish on

Try old english oil,it will cover some of it or you could sand it off and refinish.Or you can use paste shoe polish buff it in and wipe it off untill it comes clean,it will fill in a dent in wood.Other than that paint it.

You can use a shoe polish in the matching colour to rub in and try to cover up some of it or just sand it back and re stain it.
Good luck.

Try toothpast or mayonnaise. Test in a hidden spot first. I have used this many times. Works for me. Good luck.
