It isn't going to ruin the wood, but I guess that you won't be convinced by people who have used it repeatedly.

I'm sorry, I just don't trust it!
Besides, all of the ones I find have Pumice in it.

Right, so I am going to have my Cousin Mark, who is a carpenter. Take a look at the lid, and tell me what he, recommends. Plus, he said he could fix a pice of trim for me.

Here are some photos of the lid for my phonograph. Which I do not need to ruin.
I might be more convinced if someone did a video, using GoJo or Goop to clean wood. Since no one on Google or YouTube is saying it's okay to use.

Re: How to clean a wood cabinet?
So you prefer YouTube over the TMF for Gojo & info cleaning on old wood finishes? Do a search on the TMF forum and there are over 30 pages of reference on this subject. There is a thread were a very early Berliner Trade Mark machine is profiled with before and after pictures. Also Ace Hardware has been known to have Gojo, the plain stuff without the pumice.

I went to Auto Zone yesterday to pick up some parts for the 65 Chrysler Imperial, the guy didn't know what ignition points were!

So true! When I had my Packard, Nappa was always a better choice. But I do live out in a rural area where there are a lot of old tractors still running. In the early 1960's my dad drove a used 1957 Imperial. That was a car! And the 1965 is basically the same car updated.

Re: How to clean a wood cabinet?
I will just find my own method for cleaning this Cabinet!
I think I have caused a riff.
