huge problem with polished table

harvestmoon

hi
my table in the lounge is a highly polished one which will does take kindly to heat or water drips.
i usually clean it with mr sheen etc but i now have a huge problem.
there is a massive amount of smears and a dull finish and no amount of product is having an effect.
i have tried wood cleaner but to no avail.
please help.
many thanks

Let it dry then use a beeswax polish [Carr Day & Martin do a lovely one in a little round tin, smells divine].
