Quick question at Lowe's now!

Can't seem to find non pumice gojo around here. Found this stuff called goop tho. Will it work the same?

Is the Goop non pumice? You can get GoJo at O'Reilly's Auto Store..

I also wouldn’t use orange.

You should really just order some New Life. You’ll thank yourself later. (I should start getting royalties from them!)

Well, this can be deleted. I stopped at a auto parts store and finally found some!

I'll look that up now. I figured I'm gonna attempt to do a cleaning for the first time on my Edison lid. Going off advice here. Using 0000 steel wool, towels, and gojo...then wiping off and wiping with a soft cloth.

Just tried it for the first time. The GEM lid was already pretty rough, but I figured I couldn't loose much on it.

First pic is before. Second pic is after a quick gojo brush on, steel wool, then wipe with a clean soft towel. 3rd is after putting some orange oil on it and wiping off excess. What do y'all think? Think I should try my bigger machines?

Just for posterity: GOOP=GOJO. As long as there's no pumice, you're good to go.

And your Gem lid looks good, btw.

Best,
Fran

Thanks Fran. I've since decided to experiment. I put a coat of Restore a Shine on it, then buffed and applied orange oil. I think it came out good. There's a Columbia upright in the local flea market. Some of the pot metal is busted, but the wood looks good just nasty. I think ima go by it, and that will be what I learn on. I want to get proficient before I touch my good machines.

Here's some pics. I tried to use same lightnin for everything...looks different on camera than real life.

This is exactly the product I use. I get it at Harbor Freight and at WalMart.

I wouldn't use the orange stuff to clean a machine, but it's great for cleaning your hands if they're covered in grease!
