Ok you could try living more on the edge (so to speak). Now in common with the boring way we are expected to live in this so called safety concious world, where the only dangerous activity we don't have a safety lecture about, before carrying it out is driving a car, you'd better do this outside.
The way of removing these marks from french polished surfaces, is to pour a little meths onto it and set light to it. NO, COME BACK! you're not supposed to leave it to burn away.
Having set light to it, you watch and when the marks dissapear, you put a cloth over it to put the flames out. Put the flames out anyway if the marks don't fade after say, 1/2 minute.
If you really can't get rid of the marks, gently removing the coating, and retreating is the answer. It's a pity we can't see the problem, but be patient, really dreadful pieces of furniture have been brought back to pristine condition by the right treatment. (Then they distress it to make it look old )
