What does everyone use to clean or wax the casing of their phonograph with?

'Gojo' hand cleaner (the non-pumice kind) is considered very good for cleaning old dirt off casework; and 'Howard's Feed -N -Wax' is great for bringing up a shine to old finishes...

Hi Bill
I have started collecting phonographs to work on when I retire in a few years. I live in Sydney and hence Gojo is not so readily available. Some
outlets here do stock it, though I'm not sure how to describe it other than it is the traditional white cream Gojo without the pumice. Is there
a better way to describe it?

Thanks Bill, I'll try to locate here in Sydney somewhere. Would this also be the best stuff (applying with 4/0 steel wool) to remove patchy shellac?

If you want to remove shellac, I would recommend denatured alcohol.

Here in the UK, I use a polish called Renaissance Wax. Whilst not cheap, about £10.00 for a small tin, it really brings the dirt out of the varnish and imparts a beautiful deep luster.It can also be used on metal as well. According to the blurb on the tin, it was originally developed for the British Museum but is now available commercially.
