Original Magic Eraser Sponge

This looks pretty good. If I see one, I'll get it. I already look
once in a while at what the cleaning aisle has, but I may even look
even farther for it.

If the residue is sooty, Magic Eraser will likely help. You don't
explain what/how the plastic burned - flamed, melted, or? If it is
melted on, then it won't come off with detergents.

Magic Eraser is finely abrasive, but I've cleaned greasy fingerprints
from semi-gloss paint without causing visible scratches.

Auto polishing compound will do about the same and for the same price as
one silly sponge, you'll have enough for a lifetime of fine abrasive
cleaning.

Thanks.

You mean rubbing compound? In the green can from Simoniz?*** At
least it was green 30 years ago, when I bought my second can**.

Or some other polish?


**I bought my first can in 1964 to clean the '50 Olds my cousin gave
me. I think it took 4 hours, or more likely 8, or maybe 4 for
compounding and 4 more for Simonizing, but it was beautiful when I was
done. A few years later some company talked about using their
product to get a shine a foot thick. My shine was about 3 feet thick.
It was like a mirror from 3 feet away, with my dark green car.

***I'm told that now if you use Simoniz rubbing compound it will take
the entire layer of paint off down to some other layer. That's why
I'm asking.

No, I meant polishing compound which is finer than rubbing compound. If
polishing compound doesn't take care of it, then go up to rubbing
compound. Also, if the rubbing compound leaves scratches or a dull
spot, then go over it with the polishing compound to shine it up again.
I know this is for the inside of a microwave oven which may not matter
if it's dull, just adding that info for other projects down the road.

Yes, good idea, there are always other projects coming down the road.

Things have come up and no time to work on the microwave now. But I'm
sure it will turn out fine. If not, her plastic dirt will change in
to my plastic dirt, in my head, and I'll use it anyow. It's bigger
than mine, and I still haven't fixed my earlier middle bigger one.
