[CAUT] wax on Steinway D

[Paul T Williams]

Hi Everyone,

Last Saturday, some students thought it a good idea to set something made 
of wax (can't prove it was candles) on the lid of one of our Steinway 
D's.(1970' or early 80's era with satin-lacquer finish)  I'm now to try to 
remove it leaving a decent finish on it.  It also has millions of 
fingerprints.  Would something like Simple Green diluted and a lot of 
elbow grease be my best cleaning and polishing method in this case?

Another question just for information sakes;  The finish on the lid, 
instead of the small alligator crackling, has very large and long sort of 
pattern similar to alligatoring on it.  Causes for this???? 

Thanks

Paul
