My Hampton Bay patio furniture set is in need of help. Last year, it looked quite faded, so I cleaned and then used turtle wax on it. Now, much of the table top looks murky and blotchy. I tried acetone and alcohol on it, but they each had no effect. Am I really going to have to repaint it? I called Hampton Bay, and they don't advise about "cosmetic" issues.

Might help readers make suggestions if you told us what material this tabletop is made of. Wood? If so, is it painted? Varnished? Stained? Oiled? Is it metal? Plastic/resin? Gold? If its wood it may have absorbed the wax. You might need to sand the surface down just to get rid of the wax residue. Didn't any use/care tips come with the furniture?
