Restoring diamond table rails

[trob]

For all the diamond table owners I posted a question here about restoring the black on my rails. In case you missed it I was using a slightly damp cloth to clean the hand prints off the rails once a week when I cleaned my table and it was almost turning the rails white . Well I don’t get any good answers .. just bad jokes lol so I turned to face book and someone told me about a wax they used. Tried it tonight and it worked amazing! The pics don’t show just how white my rails had turned from the damp cloth.

But they aren't new.

Looks like taking care of a black table is as much a pia as a black car. Shows every liil blemish. Good tip on the wax.

I ask because wax probably wouldn't do much to synthetic surfaces.

That's PRC.

Interesting. If that's the case then you'd think any cleaner/polisher should work. Since prc is synthetic(phenolic resin based) it shouldn't require a wood treating product.

Wouldn't Dymondwood and Urethane rails be the same as synthetic because of the top coat? You're really not treating "wood" when you treat clear coated rails. Kinda like buffing a car, no more car color on the buffer anymore because everything has clear on it now, not like a lacquer or enamel paint job from decades ago.
