I would just use a rag for starters. On your set the finish still looks pretty good. If it was worst shape with lots of sm cracks in the lacquer I wouldn't use the steel wool. In that case the steel wool would tend to chip away at the finish. Next time you see some 4/0 pick it up and give it a try!
I don't know if you can get Briwax over here as I think it's made in the UK. Best I remember it's pigmented wax. I think I would give Howards a try.
