I am not so careful as the Wizard seems to be and rub until the finish is dull, but very smooth. Then finish with thin coats of Johnson's wax until the desired "shine" is obtained. This may be 2 coats.....or it may take as many as 10. It's all a matter of what "look" you prefer. However, the wax finish will never be a high-gloss finish like with a urethane finish....it will be a warm, classic look. I hate change, it's never for the better....
