Re: Repair high gloss cockpit table
It doesn't look like your scratches go into the wood, just the finish. If I am correct, you do not want to use any stain.
Start with a 120 grit on a random orbit and hit the entire surface. I think you will pretty quickly remove your scratches. Wipe it down with a damp cloth every few minutes while sanding. When the scratches are gone, wipe it down again and then hit it with 320 grit. Wipe it down again and let it dry. Then apply the poly urethane. Do at least three coats. Letting it dry thoroughly between coats. And when dry lightly hit it with 00 steel wool, again, wiping and letting it dry. between coats.
It should look better than new when done.

Re: Repair high gloss cockpit table
I do remember sanding, staining and varnishing every weekend all summer long for many years. At the end of the season, the boats looked spectacular. Only to start again next year!
Thank goodness new products last longer than the old stuff!
And even though I think they are beautiful; I will never own a wooden boat!
