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 _____ From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Paul T Williams Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2007 7:38 AM To: College and University Technicians Subject: Re: [CAUT] Rubbing out laquer finish 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 Willem Blees <wblees at bama.ua.edu> Sent by: caut-bounces at ptg.org 03/22/2007 09:08 AM Please respond to College and University Technicians <caut at ptg.org> To College and University Technicians <caut at ptg.org> cc Subject Re: [CAUT] Rubbing out laquer finish Quoting Paul T Williams <pwilliams4 at unlnotes.unl.edu>: > Hi Richard, > > The Steinway from Mrs. Blackman is finished other than fine voicing > in > Brenda's office.
