Water stains can be maddening when you find them on your accent table. However, once they are fully dried, soft cloth and dab some mayonnaise in it. Rub it in place, until it disappears. Use real mayonnaise. Miracle whip can be severe at Sandwich, but he would not remove the stain.
Colored rings can be removed with a little pasta. Rub this until loop disappears. You can also use the cigarette ashes in vegetable oil. But if you don't smoke, go with toothpaste.
Candle wax can really ruin the finish on accent tables. Delete, but it's easier than you think. If Candle Wax on the surface, let cool and harden fully. Place ice on it, so it gets brittle. Scratch, then a plastic putty knife (not metal). Polish it a bit to remove any remaining wax.

When you are entertaining, you want to make sure you do not place any dish hot on unprotected table. Always place a hot pad, stand, a pair of oven mitts or thick towel under the hot plate to prevent burning and marring.
If you use candles to set the mood, make sure that they have a great base for them. If not, place the candle holder dish or saucer or instead use Hurricane lamps, hot wax doesn't spill and on top of your expensive accent tables.
You shouldn't ever Polish or wax on your wood with cheap commercial products available in supermarkets. They can damage the surface or just add a waxy film layer, which would collect dust. If you really like the look of Polish, use lemon oil for one of the three parts of olive oil. He will do the job well and leave pleasantly lemon scent in the room.
