I sold my No4 MkII that I took out of the wrap but never removed the grease to a younger collector and it seems he used Acetone to remove the grease. The results are not good. Question is what was the original finish and how to get it back close to it. It's a 1954 and shouldn't have a blonde stock but now it has no finish stock. He is a good kid that made a mistake. .
