[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 800

[david wendell]

Dan,

I like the Novus Polishes for these plastics.  It
comes in #1, #2 and #3.  I usually use just the #2. 
It is good stuff and you can polish many things with
it.  I spend a lot of time on the plastics.  If they
are originals you can't hardly go wrong.   I wash them
first with a 50/50 mixture of household ammonia and
409.  Watch out for the very strong odors and use
gloves.  This is just my opinion and how I do mine. 
Have FUN!

David Wendell
