Re: [disklavier] Products for Cleaning Ebony Disklavier

if the finish is really a polyester resin, it is no longer wood. polyester can withstand almost anything except for abrasives :)

I think Windex has ammonia in it, a chemical I would not use on wood. YMMV

I would stick to products that are meant for wood. Even some of the furniture polish products contain chemicals that can damage the wood of your piano.

Sam, Why do you say no Windex? Windex is very easy to use , gives great results and does not require polishing. What is your experience with Windex on the epoxy ebony finish of a piano?

Kind regards

NO WINDEX!!!

Use Cory High-Gloss (or Satin) Piano Polish.

Any recommendations on how clean / polish up an ebony color Disklavier?

I’ve searched this forum and have read comments about using Windex for light cleaning or an automotive polishing product for polyester such as Meguiars.

I suspect that over the years my Disklavier has accumulated a very light film of grease from cooking, etc.

Any thoughts and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks . . . / Robert
