It's super slick and oily, and is almost impossible to remove. It can cause lacquer to break down over time. Even if you strip it all off, it's so sticky that tiny amounts can remain. These small amounts can cause fish-eye in a new finish if it's applied over top of it. Mohawk furniture polish is my favorite for my antiques, because it works well, and doesn't contain silicone.

Mohawk furniture polish is my go-to. It's a little pricey, but totally worth it. They also have scratch hider spray that works amazingly well. It saved me from having to replace $30k worth of cabinets.

Regular old English contains silicone, you don't want to use that, because it will cause refinishing issues even decades down the line.
