Yes, usually. Amazingly enough I have found that this process, for whatever reason, leaves the bushings right about where I want them. Of course, I am normally doing this on upright players, not "performance" pianos. But I have been extremely happy with the results! This very strong soap seems to nicely wash the crud ( it eats verdigris )out of the bushings, then leave a bit of itself to act as a lubricant after the outside is rinsed. Whatever. In my experience, it works very nicely.
