Okay, this may be off topic, if so just delete it.
In my joy of all things vintage sewing machines, I often end up with cabinets that are less than beautiful. Lots of years of use and probably very little concern for looks. I enjoy looking at them as much as using them so I try to spiff them up a bit. I just came across this stuff today and am amazed at how easy it is to use, and how fast I got great results!
Here is the 48 cabinet that I got yesterday.

A bit beat up and faded (much like it's new owner.)
I did a quick job of the right half.

Then started on the top.

And after

Then the finished cabinet after maybe 10 minutes of work.

And the product that I used.

I will be using this on most of my cabinets from here on out!

I've heard of it of course, but never used it. I will.

Old English is fabulous stuff. Also, if you need to strip a cabinet in the future, this stuff is awesome: http://www.citristrip.com/product/citristrip-gel. It's a thick gel that doesn't run, and has a pleasant smell so you can use it indoors. And it works great.

I use that stuff all the time. Tried to turn my sister on to it. I handed it to her and turned away for just a moment. She squirted it directly on the wood :-/ instead of the cloth. BIG mistake. Now she has a dark squirt mark on her table.
They also make one for light woods. Awesome product.

I always have the light and dark under my sink, wonderful stuff, although over time the wood dries out and it needs done again. Easy Peasy, and done again. Doesn't work so good on furniture that has been spray waxed over time, there isn't any raw-ish wood for the polish to catch into.

Wow! What a transformation! I do use Old English furniture polish. I will be on the lookout for this locally. Thanks for the post and to others for backing you up. Must go write that down before I forget

Looks great! I'll have to find some for my old cabinets.

The Old English scratch cover is great. I use it on the dark woodwork in my house all the time. It comes in a couple different colors. Very useful

That was my mom's favorite stuff. Even the smell reminds me of her. I like Howards now. I usually buy it in Antique stores.

Yes I use it and also Murphy’s Oil Soap. I am in love with that cabinet.
