Hi Dan, I use the white Scotch brite for the easier jobs, The Polito ( how ever you spell it?) I use when I want to get aggessive. Now when I get real mad on an old junker, out comes the 600 wet and dry. ( Used only dry of coarse) We save that for the old beater trade ins. Now what do you want for $995 Cnd. It's stable at pitch, and regulated, plus full money back on a decent piano later. I agree the steel wool is messy, and it does not get the side and bottoms of the strings.
