If you're having trouble sanding into the weave I'd dump the ROS in a hot second and go to a long board or at least a standard 4 1/2" rubber sanding block.

Not all varnishes are hard enough to be rubbed out- but if you know about pumice, you should know which varnish to use. I would avoid pumice- too much work for the reward since there are other options. If you scan back issues of Fine Woodworking there are several articles about using automotive polishes on varnish. Sand to 800 or 1000, then hit it with a couple compounds, and you're sweet. It's a good skill to know, because you can mend most scratches by using compounds.
