Glass Plus works great - no ammonia

I see Windex now sells a Microfiber for cleaning. It should be easier to 
find that going to Costco. Besides, who needs a gross of microfiber cloths.

Micro fiber is probably all right, too!  The idea is to
use something very soft and not scratch the polyester.
I even use those dry Swiffers to dust y piano because
they pick up the dust and not just spread it around.

How about the new microfiber clean and polish cloths?
        
They sell them at
      
Costco and some auto parts stores. They work great on
        
a black car. Most
      
car finishes are polyester-like finishes. They do not
        
leave lint like a
      
T-shirt is prone to.

The best thing is an old clean T-shirt that is damp
with a little water.  For tougher marks, you can
          
put a
      
little window cleaner, like Windex, on the damp
          
rag.
      
If we are talking about the black, shiny finish,
          
that
      
is plastic (polyester), and the scratches can be
          
buffed
      
out using a very clean buffing wheel.  Yamaha does
          
sell
      
a polish like the Cory cleaning products, but this
          
is
      
not necessary.

I have seen pianos polished in the shop before
          
delivery
      
with something like turtle wax, but the
          
consequences
      
have been sometimes disastrous - like some of the
polish oozing through the lid hinge onto the bass
strings, or the person using the electric buffing
          
wheel
      
going through the finish on the edges.

NEVER use a furniture polish that contains silicon
          
as
      
it can migrate into the pinblock where the tuning
          
pins
      
could become loose.  I wouldn't even use Old
          
English
      
polish!

What products work the best on this?  I normally
            
dust
      
and use the
          
little cloth they gave me to rub out finger
            
prints,
      
etc.  I thought I
          
read that Yamaha actually sells a product to
            
clean
      
these?  Thanks for
          
any help!
