Hi all,

I recently acquired an LD-S1 which wasn't taken care of too well by its previous owners. I thought I did a decent job of cleaning the front but I took a flashlight and see that there seems to be a lot of hard water spots/streaks on the lovely urushi finish. Any tips on cleaning? So far I've just used water, dilluted vinegar and a microfiber cloth.

Don’t use vinegar or any other acids to clean paint and plastic!

The surface is painted black, like a piano. It can’t really be permanently stained, just damaged. If spots don’t come off with light cleaners like window cleaner or dish soap the it’s damaged and nothing will fix it short of repainting it.

What about trying to buff it with polish??
You could try plastic polish as that shouldn't damage the finish, or even some type of expensive furniture or guitar polish.
But as zeta says it may be too late.
Could you also post pictures.
