| I have a medium oak drinks cabinet, similar to the 'Old Charm' range. It has several ring marks and what looks like the polish or stainer has worn away. I spilt Canada Dry mixer on it and the next day it left a dreadful whitish patch. No amount of polishing makes any difference.
What can I do to restore the finish?

| It is probably moisture in the finish. Quite common and easy to repair. I use the cloths then clean up the oil and adjust the sheen using lacquer. "Polish" means different things in different locales. Want to elaborate what you mean by it? |

| Thank you. I am just not sure what the finish is on the cabinet. If I could have your email address, I could send a photo of it or is there a way to add a photo here? |

| Thanks Bobsmyuncle. That mark on the photo is minor compaired with the marks on my cabinet. I haven't uploaded photos to Photobucket before but I will try. |
