[sdiy] cosmetic restorations (shine, paint touching)

[Dave Magnuson]

Perhaps a paste wax would work?    A lot of people use them on wood tables / 
chairs, etc.

Moog Opus restoration project is about 75% finished. Refinished wood is 
looking excellent. However, shiny wood next to dull, flat face doesn't look 
so hot. Someone suggested degreasing the face and applying lacquer. Local 
hardware shop manager warns not to. Says lacquer will dissolve the paint. 
Obviously some Armor All would look great for about a week, but it would 
feel oily and be rather ghetto. Thus it is not an acceptable solution. Any 
ideas?

Also, though not too bad, there are a few scratches inside the large "MOOG" 
log on the rear of the chassis. Has anyone ever tried touching this up?
