My concern would be the Pledge. Pledge contains silicone and silicone will cause "fisheye" in most final finishes. They are not pretty. Here is google's suggestion for finishing after the wood has had a silicone based shine or wax on it:
"To prevent "fisheye" in polyurethane, add a small amount of fisheye eliminator, which is a high-concentration silicone additive, to your finish. Alternatively, apply a
barrier coat of dewaxed shellac before the polyurethane to seal surface contaminants. Preventing fisheye requires identifying and eliminating surface contaminants like silicone, waxes, or grease through thorough cleaning before finishing."
Varnishes:
To prevent fish eyes in a varnish finish, you can add a small amount of a dedicated fisheye eliminator or, as a last resort, a small amount of silicone to the varnish. The best approach is to prevent contamination in the first place by thoroughly cleaning the surface with a solvent like
Naphtha or a strong degreaser, as fisheyes are caused by surface contaminants such as silicones, waxes, and oils from furniture polishes.
Fisheye:
The problem with silicone in pledge or any other silicone items is that it often gets down into or onto wood itself. For one who is not skilled in finishing processes, it is not a simple wipe off or wipe down solution.
