    Sam I'd get some auto car polish, Meguiars products always work well.
    In terms of curing hard to say, if the weather is cool might be worth waiting a bit more than 2 weeks.
    Stick a fingernail in an area that will be covered by a pup surround to test the hardness is a good way of knowing when its ready to polish

    I have some "Polyglaze Cut & Polish" from a time some number of years ago when I tried fixing some scratches on my car.

    I recall using this on the LP that I sprayed with auto clear acrylic.

    Perhaps that will do for this TO finish as well. Guess I TO a bit of pine and let it set, then try it.
