If you do sand it make sure your final sand is with a fine paper to reduce the appearnce of it being sanded. You can then spray it with resin spray (<a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=safari&rls=en&q=resin+spray&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=13055272418853064277&sa=X&ei=bK8TT6zWF8W0iQL1iNG2DQ&ved=0CDoQ8wIwAQ#ps-sellers" rel="nofollow">Link</a>) to get back it's shine.
