I usually recommend the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #10 (polish), #17 (cleaner), or #18 (liquid, like Cory's). The first two are cream polishes. Any product which is meant for plexiglas, lexan, etc. will work well. If you have a plastics store in town, they will have polishes. Boat stores usually carry Meguiar's, as do most automotive stores. In a pinch, you can use "Gel-Gloss" which is meant for fiberglass shower stalls (won't scratch). Don't use window cleaners, they will make the surface look dull (but won't hurt either). Car wax will also work. The Cory's hi gloss product is very good. I can get a gallon of the same kind of stuff at our local plastics store for about $30.00. Why pay more? I also bottle it myself, label it with my bus. logo, and give it out as a sample.\ Paul McCloud San Diego > [Original Message] > From: Carl Teplitski <koko99@shaw.ca> > To: Pianotech <pianotech@ptg.org> > Date: 11/29/2004 10:13:35 PM > Subject: polish > > Wondering what other tuners use to polish pianos, which are not wood. > [e.g. plastic.] For many years I've used a glass type cleaner, [not > windex]. > It was a commercial cleaner, and when it ran out, I didn't think to > check > the name, but plan to check with a windshield installer, locally, to see > if they > use the stuff.
