Everyone here has been helpful, esp. dadiOH. Lew Hodgett suggested
Scott's Liquid Gold (SLG) & I've done some research, based on what
dadiOH told me Do not apply a product containing alcohol over a
lacquer finish. SLG's ingredients do not include alcohol; it is a
naphtha-based product.


When my seller warned me not to use Pledge-type products, I vaguely
remembered something silicone. Sure enough, Pledge has silicone.
After dadiOH's information tung/teak, etc., oils & how they're
marketed, I've decided: No alcohol, no silicone, no oil.


Unless someone warns me SLG, I think that's what I'm going to use.

You stated "no oil". Scott's Liquid Gold is primarily an oil.

Thanks for correcting me. Shows how much I know. I guess the appeal of
SLG is that it has no alcohol or silicone in it. Yet, I think it's
better than just teak or tung oil & cheaper. I could be corrected.
