To bring a laquered finish to something really good, use rottenstone to put an unblemished finish as this will cut even the finest scratches out, then using a good quality car polish and an electric car polisher with a soft buffing sponge bring to a mirror shine, but be careful you can cut right through the finish if you put too much pressure on...

IMHO best solution is to strip lacquer completely using stripper and then cut back with finer and finer grades of wet and dry until silky smooth. Finally apply a wonderful hand rubbed oil finish from a supplier such as CCL or Trade Secrets.  Jobs a good un????

Couple things - 

I seriously doubt that any Perazzi out there with an original factory finish is lacquered.  Lacquer is a very fragile finish for a gunstock and Perazzi is not into fragile.  I've not seen a standard Perazzi with other than a poly finish tho the 30-40 year old models may have had an oil based finish and not urethane.

Like was said - paste wax.  I use floor paste wax on everything wood.  It's a fine old English tradition too used on the finest guns to protect the crap oil finishes the makers used.

many years ago ( i am an old git) i had a 410 double s/s  nice metalwork but wood a bit grotty so i got it cheap. happened to speak to an old uncle and mentioned it. he asked me to fetch it round so he could have a look. we weent to his workshop and he attacked the stock and forend with a pen knife and methylate spitit,to get all the old 5 layers of varnish and crap off of it. he then french polished it when he finished i had an absolutly fantastic gun. french polishing if you can find someone and aford it is in my opinion the very best alternative to varnish or sealnt of any kind  but its only my opinion
