Tool Box Cleanup

[James Jayko]

I know the luthiers of the world use lighter fluid / naphtha to clean instruments without trashing the finish...

[Jimmy Harris]

Yeah. Naphtha or Ronsonol (lighter fluid for lighters, not charcoal) is probably the strongest degreaser you can use that won't harm the finish.

[Walter Plummer]

The furniture restorers I watch use Krud Kutter to wash the pieces first. Home Depot, Lowes sell it. I have used it to clean old machinery for restoration.

I cleaned my father's old Gerstner Chest will Naphtha and a white scotch-brite pad

[Don Orr]

Sounds like Naptha is my solution-actually solvent-of choice. Thanks.
