Debbie, Acetone can be fairly nasty. You don't want to get it on your skin, or inhale it. I use it for a variety of things, but cleaning your ebony star surface is not one that I would recommend. Really all that is needed is to clean the laminate with windex, or anything you would use to clean a countertop. Acetone softens the surface of the laminate, and easily removes the upper layer . I know, because I have used it on our lab benches to remove nasty chemical stains :). It removes the stain, but leaves a slightly matte finish area, where the surface is compromised. As far as wax, you may want to look into any of the car waxes that contain silicone. They make for a nice slippery finish. We keep a bottle in our trailer for that purpose.

Chuck,

What is PPE and where do I buy the acetone? My Ebony Star probably could use a cleaning and waxing. Thanks,

Debbie
