Acetone will not harm polyester, but some pianos such as Yamaha's have
parts that are not polyester but plastic. As soon as the acetone hit the
plastic, game over, the surface dissolves. When the acetone dries the
surface is rough and uneven. I know I had this happen to me last year on
a Yamaha cheek block.Try a body shop supply store for wax remover. They
would be able to help you with selecting the right product safe for
plastic and polyester.

Thanks, Paul, 

I sit corrected, clarified and elucidated.  After some DAMHIKs, the only

reason I want acetone nearby is for emergency CA solvency...
