I used #0000 steel wool with gojo once every 24 hours. Apply the gojo with the steel wool and "scrub" the wood along with the grain. Wait 10 minutes, do another light pass with the steel wool and wipe off.

I did this 4 or five times. I waited another 24 hours before applying feed n wax. I applied feed n wax a second time the next day, and polished it.

It Looks great, Martin! You were very smart to wait 24 hours between the GoJo / steel wool scrub. Repeatedly doing that without sufficient dry time can cause serious issues with the finish. Well done yet again!
