I just recently completed a coffee table (maple and walnut) and am worried I wasn’t thoughtful enough with the finish. I finished it in 4 coats of Simple Finish by Makers Brand and buffed a layer of Minwax paste finishing wax on. It’s been about two weeks and overall the finish still looks good and I’m pretty satisfied with how it all turned out - that said, I know that wax isn’t best for high touch/use surfaces and I’m starting to second guess myself. As the table eventually collects water marks from people not using coasters and the like, I can buff it as needed and even reapply another layer of wax if it comes to that.
I’m wondering if there may be another wax product that would better suit my table and what tips people have for keeping it looking good and protecting it from water marks, other than attempting to complete refinish it with poly.
Does anyone know of waxes that are particularly good at resisting water marks?
Thanks in advance!
