Anyone have experience using this as the final rubout? I have a gloss oil polyurethane finish on a 3 x 4 tabletop and was thinking of using this. Which one of the products have you used, in what order, and anything to watch out for? Thanks

I have used a similar product to get rid of swirls on a shellac French polish table. (And got a knowingly wink from a craftsman working at a well known colonial location in Virginia when I mentioned it.) I don't know why it should not work on your project. Maybe someone else has different information.
I don't know which product exactly, but I've used automotive stuff for buffing out a tabletop when someone wanted a mirror shine. There are usually a few levels of auto buffing compound, just like going through sandpaper grits.
It doesn't work as well on water based finishes as oil. And give an oil finish an extra week to fully cure. If the finish isn't completely hard, it won't work as well.
"Nourishes the paint". Gotta love the marketing guys. They held a contest for who could use "shine" the most times in one sentence.
The paint on my car has been on a high-sodium diet all winter.
It FEEDS THE WOOD!

I LOVE the "Feed the Wood" line. I think it was Formsby's that came up with that bit of malarkey.
Funny sh*t! I left it alone because it felt like a cut & paste from someone trying to help, and it was fun to make fun of course. It was clearly ad copy though.
