  Yeah,

  Using a buffing wheel set-up.  Sorry I forgot to mention.  Thanks to =
all for responding.  Helpful.  Do I presume that tripoli, red rouge, and =
or jewelers compound (or white for that matter) are all acceptable on =
ivories as well?

  Thanks,

    I assume you're talking powered buffing wheels rather than by hand?  =
I mounted three large buffing wheels side-by-side on an electric motor =
that turns at 1750 rpm.  Then I use the large white stick type buffing =
compound that Pianotek sells on only the left-most wheel.  That leaves =
the other two clean for polishing.  Good results-if needed to removes =
scratches and imper-
    fections, hold the keytop on the left side of the setup for as long =
as needed, then polish on the right side.  Talk to Mark at Pianotek, =
nice folks to deal with and very helpful with advice. =20
