Three common finishes used in Indian homes. Ask your carpenter which they are using.
If professional polish is too expensive, DIY wax refresh gives 60% of the effect for 10% of the cost.
Polish work needs a dry day and 12–24 hours to fully cure. Book by October 12 to have the work done, cured and dust-free before Diwali guests arrive.

By second week of October (Oct 12 latest). Polish needs 12–24 hours to cure, so any later booking risks a wet finish on Diwali day.
Wax — quick DIY refresh, matte finish, lasts 3–4 months. French polish — traditional, glossy, hides scratches. PU — most durable, waterproof, lasts 5+ years. Match to your furniture use.
Wax refresh yes — cost ₹150–₹500 for materials, 2–4 hours work. French / PU polish needs professional application — DIY leaves streaks and uneven finish.
