What you are showing here is most likely a common nitro cellulose lacquer finish. Things like Shelac and varnish have not been used comercially for almost a half century except in rare out of the way hand crafted items.
The product I have been screaming about is a lacquer used almost universally by manufacturers world wide because it is easy to apply, it does not need to be rubbed out and its cheap. But once dry it is a grizzly bear to re-pear. You just don't throw some wax on it without paying a price for that endeavour.
Everything you do is going to impact the sheen of the finish on the surface you play around with. Where once it may have been mat, satin or flat in sheen any rubbing with steel wool, abrasive cloth, sand paper, or even terry cloth will turn the spot you have rubbed on into a shiny spot that will stand out like a Chevy in a punch bowl.
