A picture would be helpful, but if the finish is in good shape this is what I'd do.  First give it a good cleaning with Go Jo hand cleaner (white NOT the orange).  Let that sit for a few days and then use some Howard's if there are any scratches, etc..  Let that dry for a few days and then apply a good paste wax.  If you don't like the wax you can always use mineral spirits to remove it.
