Cleaning / waxing painted metal
#1

Hi Pholks, 

I scored an RCA (GE) Radiola II and am in the process of cleaning and restoring.  These sets are much higher quality than the Westinghouse built Radiola III, but when new price was over $90 vs $33 for the Radiola III.

The painted brass front panel is in relatively good shape.  I washed off the nicotine using Windex, then laundry soap and rinsing.

What do you all recommend to use to shine and protect the paint on the brass front panel.  I am a little afraid of using something that would lift the finish.  I have Armor-All and Pledge, and I can buy some GoJo hand cleaner.

Thanks for your input.
