Hit it with your final grit of sandpaper after the water dries. The water causes the grain to rise and partially undo some of the sanding you just did

I use denatured alcohol instead of water to pop the grain. Evaporates completely, you never have to worry about moisture under the finish!

It looks good but I’m a purist. I won’t say more. Love that poly wipe on… gorgeous finish.

Can you put the wipe on poly on the painted sections?

Another hack, wipe-on poly is 50/50 poly and mineral spirits. Make your own, much cheaper.
