Oil damaged wood finish on my new table

Hi!

Kids! And not little kids 21 and 19!!!

After being told many times not to eat on my new furniture, they placed a bag of something greasy or sticky on the table and moved my oil thingy (those stupid bottles with the scented oil and the sticks on top) off the coaster and onto my new table. Came home to this today. AGHHHHH!!!!

So the bag with the sticky stuff in it/on it and the bottle of oil both ate through the finish. The bag left an irregular spot and the oil left 2 small rings. I made them worse by using a rubber scraper in hopes to remove the sticky substances. The substances already did the damage and my scraping put more dent like scratches into the finish.

I'm not going to refinish the whole table, (here's the best part - did I mention they were only purchased in September??) but I'd like to put something on them to make then less noticeable.

Is there a wax I could use? The old english filler is not sufficient. Any advice?

Thank you,

Jemboysch (very very sad and mad)
