I'd be careful with any sandpaper on the exterior finish. Use it only if
you plane to refinish. Cedar closets and cedar chests are left with a
sanded but raw interior to allow the cedar oils to enter the air, which is
why a little fine sanding and cedar oil works.
Different finishes will require different handling. Polyurethane is about
the easiest. Mild soap and water and a soft nylon pot scrubber will often
remove crusted dirt. Varnishes and shellac require more delicate handling.
