[CAUT] wax on Steinway D

[Chris Solliday]

after you get the wax off there may still be a stain that might (I'm hedging) be removed with naptha and 0000 steel wool in the direction of the grain of course.

  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
