You might consider testing any products in a small area before attempting to work on the entire table. (Perform a Test Spot)

1) We're you planning on using a dual action polisher to apply the products?

2) What's the least aggressive product you have?

3) Do you know what kind of finish the table has on it?

yes i was going to use a dual action polisher

least agressive product might be DC2

hmm as for finish i have completely no idea my dad was saying it was Cherry wood

also what speed would you recommend

This is a chemical only paint cleaner, I doubt it will be effective at removing swirls out of the finish on this table, but it might. A better option would be to try our #9 Swirl Remove 2.0 This is a very gentle cleaner/polish.

The table is either lacquer paint, (common), or some type of polyurethane. If it's lacquer paint it should be very soft and thus very easy to polish swirls and scratches out of with a product like #9 Swirls Remover 2.0

If it's a polyurethane type finish, then the best thing to do would be to test a product like the #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 and see if it works, if not you can always substitute a more aggressive product.

As for the Poorboy's SSR products, I have them, I have used them and I would suggest only doing a test spot to a small area an then inspect in good light. Always make sure you can make a small area look good with your choice of products and procedures before attempting to work on the entire finish.

also what speed would you recommend

For removing defects you usually want to be in the 4.0 to 5.0 range leaning towards the 5.0 range depending on how hard the finish is and how deep the defects are.

You really want to test some product combinations and some speed settings in a small area before machine applying anything to the entire table. Make sure you can make one small area look good from beginning to end, i.e. polishing to waxing, before working on the entire finish. Dial your system down in one area and then cookie-cutter it over the rest of the table.
