How to fix removed finish on a wood table?

I waste some nail polish on the dining table the tried to remove it with a little bit of nail polish remover. I realized that was going to damage the table more. So I tried hair spray and a brillo pad. Most of the nail polish is gone but there's a white spot on the table a little bigger than a quarter. Is there a way to fix this spot? The finish isn't really glossy or anything if tht makes a difference.How to fix removed finish on a wood table?
Some people actually want wood furniture with scratches, dents and other damage. Why in the world would anyone want damaged furniture, you ask? These people look for damaged furniture at scratch and dent sales. They look for beautiful pieces of wood furniture in need of repair in order to save money. Pieces of wood furniture with dents, scratches, and other damage cost far less than brand new undamaged pieces.



If you find a water ring, dent, burn or unsightly scratch on furniture, don't panic. You can easily fix the problem without spending a small fortune in the process. It's not necessary to take a piece of wood furniture to a professional for simple water rings, scratches, burns, or dents. With a few simple tools and a little ingenuity, you can fix wood furniture blemishes and damage for pennies on the dollar.



Water Rings



Water ring stains on wood finishes can be easily removed by ironing them out. Just place a thick piece of cloth over the water ring and press it with a warm iron. Rub the warm iron over the cloth-covered water ring until it disappears.



If the water ring is extremely stubborn, rub it with lemon or orange oil. Let the oil set on the water ring for several hours or overnight, and wipe off the excess oil. The water ring should be much less apparent or it may be completely gone.



Another remedy for water rings on furniture is a mixture of white toothpaste and mayonnaise. Just rub the water ring with an equal mixture of white toothpaste and mayo and wipe off any leftovers. Rub the area with orange oil or lemon oil, and the water ring should be gone.
