I like a combination of both these guys. Apply a heavy coat and wipe most of it off after 1o minutes. then when the surface gets tacky in another 15 or 30 minutes. I rub it down hard with a clean soft rag to burnish the shine.
If you apply another coat before the preceding coat hardened, then you end up re-dissolving, so to speak, the coat you just put on and don’t get as much build up as if you wait 4 hours to overnight. A fan can help speed things along.
After two coats I use either fine steel wool or 600-1500 paper and smooth of the surface again.
You can keep doing this until you’re happy with the finish.
