    Polishing question

    I sprayed my kitchen cabinets with Lysol and it left a white stain where I sprayed and then ran down the cabinet. What Meg's product should I use to polish out the stain? I have a PC and a rotary and lots of each kind of Meg's pads. I think this stain will polish out but I don't want to use the wrong product and make my problem worse. I was just trying to kill odors but now I'm a stench in my wife's nose. Thanks for the help, Wes

    What kind of material is your kitchen cabinets made out of or what kind of coating do they have?

    If they are wood cabinets, chances are very good they have clear lacquer paint over them and you could use a paint cleaner by hand like Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner or ScratchX.

    If you want to use a dual action polisher, you could use a cleaner/polish like M80 Speed Glaze with a polishing pad on the 4.0 to 5.0 setting.

    If you end up machine polishing the cabinets, please have your wife take a picture and share it on the forum!

      Cabinets

      Hey Mike, thanks for the reply. They are the regular wooden cabinets found in most kitchens. They probably have a wood color stain on them with something on top protecting them, like the clear paint you mentioned. I think I will try the #80 on them with the PC, unless you reply back with something better to try. I will have my wife take a picture while I polish them and post it. Thanks, Wes

        If they do have a lacquer finish, it will be thin and lacquer paint is very soft, so you shouldn't have to polish for very long. You should also test your product of choice in one area for a few seconds and then wipe the residue off and inspect.

        Be careful around raised edges also as the lacquer will be thinnest in these areas.

        To tell you the truth, if it were me, I would probably try applying either a paint cleaner or a cleaner/polish by hand first using a clean, foam applicator pad and check the results from this application method before attempting to machine polish. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

          I think your right Mike, I better try it by hand first. That might be all it takes to remove it. I sure don't want to have to take down the cabinets and refinish them. Thanks, Wes
