[Milsurplus] Black Wrinkle Finish

[joldenburg2 at new.rr.com]

For moderately dirty radios I first clean with Windex using a soft paint brush. This is effective for dirt & light grease/oil and even light nicotine deposits. If the grime is heavier I'll use Simple Green instead. The paint at this point is usually pretty dull.

Following a wipe down with distilled water and though time to dry I then use Orange Glo furniture polish/cleaner. It will bring the luster back to the paint and will remain nice for several years. When it starts to get a few dull areas a cloth dampened with Orange Glo restores it with a quick wipe down.

    What do you folks use to clean and polish black wrinkle finishes? At hamfests, some of these old sets look brand new.
