Care and storage tips: OK, here's an easy way to make this look like a million bucks.

Get some Old English Dark scratch cover and give it a good wipe. Make sure to wipe away all excess as OE is a scratch cover and NOT a Polish. If your inclined, send me a pick of the after for me to post here, I'd love to show folks what a difference OE makes on Dark furniture.
