Hobbyist here - I took a painted farmhouse table & refinished it and put new legs on. Topcoat is Minwax “Warm Satin” oil based poly. It’s glossier than I wanted, but I assume life will fix that soon enough.
I tried several things to flatten it out - 0000 steel wool worked pretty well from a distance, but the fine scratches still bugged me. So I committed a crime - took my car polisher and some compound and got those scratches out, then I used a different pad and polished it. So yeah- shiny.
