What methods / products are suggested for removing
accumulated wax / polish from furniture? Item in
question is an early 60s console stereo cabinet, believe
the finish to be lacquer.



Naptha (lighter fluid)





Same as My immediate thought, IIRC Briwax is loaded with something like
lighter fluid to soften it.

BUT would naphtha bother lacquer?

Pure naptha should not bother either laquer or varnish. If it has
toluene added you could have a problem.
Coleman fuel works well - but OUTSIDE - well vented, and no source of
spark/ignition. High humidity to eliminate static discharge??
