[GreenKeys] refurbish Model 33 keys?

[Chris Elmquist]

Thanks for all the replies guys.  As it turns out, I have a can of the
Johnson Paste Wax on hand...  just used it recently on the kitchen table!

Riceguy suggested a car wax product too and I had identified a Mother's
Plastic Polish (another car product) that seemed like a good candidate
so I have a few things to try.   Will do that and report back with some
before/after photos.

And excellent advice on not taking the keyboard apart.  Definitely don't
want to do that as it works now and probably wouldn't when I was "done".
Will attempt this polishing from the top perhaps using a buffing bit in
my Dremel tool, running at low speed.
