Hi Wim,
    I use the Cory products. Don=B9t know the brand names off hand, but
there=B9s a cleaner and a polisher for satin. They do a nice job of keeping i=
t
looking new. Good for removing that black hand grease buildup on the top of
the rim where singers like to put their hands (and elsewhere), too.
    When a case develops a bunch of micro-scratches, a wool-waxing (0000
steel wool with lubricant, rubbing parallel to the grain) will bring it bac=
k
to like new. But you don=B9t want to do that too often, as it wears away
finish. Maybe every other year or more. Or for a really special occasion.
Regards,
