The best thing I've used is bon ami for the initial cleaning and the Mothers Canuba Cleaner/ wax for the finish. Forget the powerball stuff do it with clean rags and finish with a micro polishing cloth. I'll follow this post and see if someone has found something better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J3K94cRC1c

Recently my wife found one I washed in our dryer and is sold on it for around the house dusting. lol Last edited by Challenger 1; 09/04/10 11:31 AM.
