Question
I was told that Bees Wax would work to remove the above.  However, it didn't remove it entirely, even though the marks are quite faint.  Any suggestion would be helpful.  Thank you.

Answer
I'm not sure what type of wood you have, but there should be an oil that they make for it. Usually if the scratches are quite fine then the oil will help to hide them. You can also try using a "triple zero" steel wool on the scratches and see if they go away. Remember to oil the area after using the steel wool.

Also I like using "Mohawk" touch up markers, I use them very lightly and spread it out thinly with my finger to get the right affect to make scratches disappear.

Hope this helps.
