I was finishing the sides of a bed that I had made and was using EEE Ultra shine to get a better finish on the timber (Queensland walnut.)
I turned the side over and discovered that there were several rather thick runs of poly (Minwax wipe-on poly) on the bottom edge where I had negleted to wipe throughly.
Bugger (I thought) how am I going to fix this easily?
So I decided to try a little experiment.

I wiped on the EEE finish and then used a 400 grit paper in a rubber holder and gave it 4 or 5 rubs along the grain to see what would happen.
It came up beautifully.
All the runs were removed and then after a short rub with the polishing cloth the finish came up smooth as .. and shiny as well.
I may use this system for all my surfaces from now on.

That's very interesting. So, you did not need to re-apply poly on the rubbed out parts? I'll have to have a go at that, as I'm always dripping poly :o and rubbing and re-applying.

Well EEE is sold as a kind of cutting polish so no surprises there. Glad you found a solution.
