Cotton cleanser does not strip the finish nor does it get rid of the alligatoring.
It simply cleans the surface of the years of grime. I personally like it and think it works well for the above purpose.

I have a Victrola that has been gone through mechanically and runs beautifully. The issue is the cabinet. It is badly checked from being exposed to sunlight over the years. I am definitely one who likes to keep my phonographs in original condition, as much as possible. However, this old machine needs some cosmetic help. I don't want to strip and refinish the Victrola, but am looking for a way to restore and rejuvenate the original finish. I have seen a few posts in the past regarding the use of Kotton Klenser. I am looking at their products on the web. Do these products, help to smooth out the original finish or do they strip it off for refinishing. I can't tell a lot from the web site. Do you use just the Kotton Klenser with the 0 steel wool, or do you use the protective wood feeder as well? I would appreciate some advice as to it's use from those with experience. Thank you.
