Hi everyone, first time post on the forum with something a little different. I'm no stranger to cleaning up paintwork and gelcoat but by no means consider myself a pro.
I have a mahogany boat which is varnished that I took on as a detailing project and was looking for some insight on helping to remove scratches, oxidation, and create that sought after warm wood look.

I started testing out the bow by compounding, polishing, and waxing (used 105 205 and some meg flagship wax) but found results after a few days to be hazed and scratch removal minimal. At this point it appears the pores are filled up with polish and I'm contemplating doing a wash with Dawn and maybe clay to clear the area before proceeding to attempt a wax.
What are your thoughts? Any tips or product suggestions?
