Even on lacquer you can often use your usual finer brass polish, test first
on an more hidden part.
Sometime even if there is a little lacquer on the brass, the product for the
brass works.
Better not be too rude when polishing, and use a very little product on a
special cotton for polishing (automotive store)
On polyester, had no problems at all, the brass polish actually helps the
polyester to shine.

In France we have a wonderful polish ("popote" in French")  called NIKKO,
that can bring to life many lacquers, it soften the surface of cellulose or
other lacquers, and allow you to rub them, even if not enough lacquer remain
at first sight.
It is used too to dry the French polish kind, and clean the last oil traces.
Violin makers may have these kind of products, often Tripoli , sulfuric acid
and other products mixed.

  I would like to know how to polish inlayed letters on fallboards? I assume
they are brass. How do you polish without affecting the polyester? Can they
be coated with lacquer to prevent futher tarnishing?

                            Thanks Jack
