It may work.
My advice: try to put some beeswax on a little surface and see if you like the way it looks.
If not, you might want to go to 800 and then 1000 grit and try again with beeswax.
Good luck!

It will polish up to a shiny finish and looks real nice. Sand to 1000 grit and buff with rogue, green then pink. DM
