polyester refinishing?

[Carl Meyer]

Terry, the harder a material is the higher the potential shine.  Polyester I'm told is 7 times harder than lacquer, so it will take a much greater shine. A diamond much more so.  FWIW.

> Just a thought here Rob. High polish does not necessarily mean polyester. One can bring a lacquer finish up to a "high polish". High polish simply specifies the sheen, rather than the material. Lacquer, polyurethane, epoxy, enamel, etc. all can be brought up to a "high polish". Unless of course, you might be referring to some young liberal students at the University of Warsaw?

I was recently talking to a local mover who tells me that they do high polish refinishing, (i.e. polyester).  Apparently they send pianos down there periodically to put high polish finishes on Steinways since Steinway does not offer domestic poly finishes.  Anyone know anything about this?
