[CAUT] Rubbing out laquer finish

[Jeannie Grassi]

Hi Paul,

If there is a build up of wax and dirt, it sounds like you probably want to
clean it.  Murphy’s Oil Soap is the best for lacquer finishes.  However, be
sure you leave enough time.  Like cleaning your car, once you do one
section, the rest looks really bad.  You must wipe it down with a soft dry
cloth after you’re done cleaning and don’t try to do too large of a section
at once.  Good luck,

jeannie

Tried it. Didn't like it.  I think there must be years of furnature wax or
something.  The prints just smeared into a haze.  What else can I try?  pw
