Question How to remove cloudy finish on wood surface?

On the SC 430, on the wood pieces, how does one remove the cloudy look from the poly finish?

Thanks for your suggestions..

Pictures would really help. There are a few potential causes for this cloudiness, and there could be a few solutions. If you can supply some pictures and an explanation of what it looks and feels like, that could help us diagnose the problem and get you a solution.

If it's coated wood trim I would suggest using a really light polish on them like the Menzerna PO106FA Nano Polish (Super Finish). Should correct the problem and leave the wood looking more glossy and feeling smoother.

If it has a clear on it and turns cloudy, just like all woods coated that way you need to remove the top layer ( clear ) and have it re-coat again with a new polyurethane and then use a wood polish to protect it.
