Bruce,
I’ve cleaned mine with vinegar and applied Epifanes rubbed effect varnish. The rubbed effect does not have UV inhibitors. For areas exposed to sunlight, I apply clear varnish and a final coat of rubbed effect. Last year, I did my companionway ladder and sanded it first. The shade and color match.

Does anyone know what type of varnish, lacquer or other treatment was used originally by C&C to finish the interior woodwork? I'm talking vertical surfaces, the nav table, etc., and I'd really like to match the interior look it had when it came out of the showroom so I don't have to refinish every square inch. What should I use to remove the existing coating (if I should remove it at all), and what would you recommend for a new coating? I've used lemon oil before, but it seems to turn the wood dark over time. I'm thinking Danish Oil, but I really don't know enough to make an informed decision. Thanks for the insights!
