If you get a buffing wheel be very carful,

There is an article in the Allied catalog about buffing, you might want to read that. Let the wheel do the work. By that I mean use a light touch and do not "force " the key into the wheel. The wheel can "grab" a key or finger and do some damage. I have been caught only 1 time by the wheel but it is not something I liked.

If I use a wheel I always do some hand ragging in order to reach all the "nooks & crannies" . I finish with a soft clean fabric and ragging to remove all the traces of buffing compound. There are different grades of buffing compound that vary in how abrasive they are. They all leave residue that needs to be removed. I use pipe cleaners with a degreases on it to clean inside the hinge tubes and gum brand teeth cleaners to get the pivots hole in the end of solid key clean.

Hope this helps ! There are a lot of ways to clean keys and post, this is just one of them.
