Same sh1t,😂 I use pledge even for acrylics, covers small scratches

 

Same ***? Are you mister magic himself. I'm having good results with this and that's a fact!

@Beobuddy, you even took the effort taking a picture to let us see were talking about the same product!🤔

YES it is🙂

I've used it for the BM1001 cabinet. That worked great. But I didn't use it for aluminum. For the next BM900K is will use a different oil (also from HG), but then I also will use some steal wool. Don't know if that's the correct spelling.

Let me know how it works with the other HG product,

Steel wool is correct and if that works?🤔

I let you know. Steel wool opens up the structure of the wooden cabinet. First use a piece of glass to take of the upper layer with dirt etc. Then use the steel wool and oil together to rub the oil in the structure.

I see, thought you wanna use that on the aluminium🙂

😂😂 I mean Pledge and the product you use are probably more or less the same, and yes I get good results with mine too😁

Returning to the original query, thanks Chris and Soren [sorry, a horizontal line is the best I can do; can not easily re-create the diagonal line for the "o"].

I will give the Danish oil a try.

Chris, how does one "French polish"?  I have not heard this phrase before.  "French kissing" yes, "French polish" no.  😕

The beauty of French polishing is it really enhances the natural grain & figuring of wood & gives a tough long lasting & easy to maintain finish.

It requires stripping off any old polish & varnish back to bare wood - use the finest grit sandpaper you can get a way with, it saves effort in the long run. Some woods such as rosewood may need some staining to attain the original colour & vibrancy (B&O rosewood speakers are stained a little redder than natural rosewood, mahogany stain seems to give good results). Then apply however many coats of button (French) polish as you feel neccessary. You must apply it in the direction of the grain using single strokes and not be tempted to go over it again until you have "kocked it back" with steel wool in between each coat. French polish dries very quickly so you can repeat the process every 20 minutes or so. Button polish will fill the grain & the more open the grain of the wood, the more coats are needed - even grain filler may be needed if the grain is very open. I never use less than 4 coats depending on the wood in question. The last coat of button polish is also knocked back with steel wool & the final polish is done with beeswax. After care is much easier as you can simply use spray & wipe furniture polish.

Chris.

With all respect and off topic, but why is it french polishing? My dad did this almost 40 years ago with the rosewood from B&O telly's back then. 😛

Just here in The Netherlands....
