Hello @Paddio3715 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your timber floor.

I'm afraid the damage is too deep to be disguised by wax or polish. I can only suggest at this point to sand the floor back to timber and re-seal the floor. The furniture or item that was leaning in this spot needs to be covered or repaired so that it does not dig in to the soft timber floor. 

The parts that are deeply damaged might even need to be filled with timber filler. I propose using a For Hire: Floor Sander to reduce the sanding time. 

Here are some handy step-by-step guides:

• How To Sand Timber Floors

• How To Seal Timber Floors

• Tips For Using A Floor Sander

• Timber Floor Trends And Finishes

I also suggest having a look at these discussions:
