What to use to rejuvenate Piano finish French Polishing
I'm posting this question on behalf of a friend. She has a Rosewood Baby Grand Piano that has French Polish finish (which may have seen better days, by all accounts).
She used to use a product called "Crystal Veneer" to rejuvenate it, but apparently that is no longer available. It used to do a great job on the finish. Currently she is using something else (which I may learn the name of tomorrow), but it is quite inferior to CV.
What would the brain's trust recommend?

Thanks Ken. I thought there might be a Ubeaut product lurking somewhere. I will pass on the info with a link to my friend. Originally Posted by rustynail

are you sure it's french polished and not lacquered?
I don't know anything about rejuvenation products - if I had a french polished piano that was looking a little dull, I'd freshen the french polish itself.

I'm told it was FP and then re-FP, and she's smart, so I guess she knows. The word is that Ubeaut Polish Reviver is "magic in a bottle". At <USD15 for a 200ml bottle I dare say it's a little cheaper than getting a FP specialist to go onsite for ½ a day. Originally Posted by D.W.
