Beyond Kotton Klenser, Goop and Gojo, I have been looking for an easy way to reduce or remove alligatoring of old shellac finishes without damaging the original stain or appearance. I have heard the term "lacquer washing." Can anyone fill in the details? Thanks.

See: http://makeashorterlink.com/?T17232587 This is the method I use to remove "alligator" and to clean finishes. It should be noted, however, that the alligator finish cannot be removed without removal of a little "lacquer". This method only works with shellac finishes, but it does a marvelous job. It's a lot of work, but the results are very good.
