42-380 Cabinet Clean-up / Not Strip
#1

I know I saw a thread on here recently about how to clean up a gunky cabinet that wasn't quite bad enough for a refinish. But I've been looking for hours and I can't seem to find it. It advised to clean up the cabinet with GoJo and then, I think, rub it down with Howard's Finish Restorer.

I did the GoJo routine, getting into all the nooks and crannies with a toothbrush, then I wiped it down with a clean cotton cloth. But I'm hesitant to go on to the next phase because the surface now has a waxy smudginess to it. Clearly there's still GoJo residoo-doo. How do I go about removing this without damaging the finish? Water? Alcohol? Paint thinner?

Also, there's a small cigarette burn on the top surface. Any advice as how to minimize or eliminate it?
