How do I maintain the satin/wood tone finish on my piano or furniture?

Core Care Products - Frequently Asked Questions
Wood finishing materials have evolved dramatically in the past fifty years. Originally finishing materials were made of varnish or rubbing oils until roughly the 1940’s. The next generation of materials used was lacquer. In the mid 70’s to early 80’s, finishes became environmentally driven to water base. This history can be used as a guideline to determine what finishing material was used and the suitable polish to be used.

Why should I finish my wood?

Exterior Wood Care
Some people wonder why wood should be finished at all. After all, some wooden structures have lasted hundreds of years. This is true, but not all wooden structures will last hundreds of years. Weather and the wood itself can develop rot and deteriorate to the point of collapse. Another thing to consider is appearance. If you think natural wood will retain its color, you are wrong. Sunlight turns all woods yellowish or brownish, then gray.

How do I keep the piano finish beautiful?

Olde Towne Piano Shop - Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
For Modern-day Lacquered Pianos: Highest quality, hand-rubbed lacquers are used to finish some modern-day pianos. The finish on your piano will last a lifetime with ordinary care. "Ordinary care" means merely dust as you would any fine furniture with treated soft cloth. If a polish is used, choose one that DOES NOT CONTAIN SILICONE, as this material may impair the lacquer finish and will build up unwanted waxy film on your fine piano or furniture.

What is the best finish for bed wood?

Frequently asked questions about MAR-K truck parts
See our wood finishing tests for information on different finishes. The black painted wood, in our testing, seems to hold up the best under continuous outdoor exposure. Failure of the finish ususally occurs first at a sharp edge of the board or at the ends. Two hints: Round over all the sharp edges of the wood to at least 1/16" radius and more if you can. This will keep the coating from becoming thin on these areas.
