   You should remove any wax on the would before you put anymore finish on it. Use paint thinner or oder-less mineral sprites. I think you are on the right track with your finish. Also stay away from silicone based waxes as they are very hard to remove and any new finish will have problems sticking to it.

   Good luck

   I 've been using General finishes products for years, and really like them.
   I find, though, that I need at least three coats of the Arm-R-Seal to get a decent build.
   As Troys said, remove the wax with mineral spirits (and 0000 steel wool if necessary) and apply another coat.

   I use that finish alot and the last few coats put it on thinned with mineral spirits and the last coat will use VERY thin mixture of finish and naptha. Dries quick without the time to let much dust settle. Learned that from Marc Spagnuolo.  The secret is to steel wool each coat. I use 000 for the first and second coat and then 0000.
