Hello dear friends, I have someone coming over on Wed to have a look at my lovely featherweight for possible purchase. She's a lovely machine, but thought I'd like to polish up her sleek black body without harming the surface. What would you use, without having to purchase a special product that I may never use again, once I've sold my featherweight.

I use a small amount of baby oil.. She shines like a black pearl!

vmaniqui

or singer sewing machine oil will also work.

but I have had WD-40 remove gold leaf in decals leaving them silver. Be careful...

vmaniqui

if you want to clean it first, you can use kerosene and guaranteed that the decals will not get affected.

I also use the sewing machine oil to clean my baby up.

I use old SM oil too since I learned better and use triflow in my machine now. It gives the old SM oil a good use.

Everything I've read says to NEVER use WD40 on sewing machines.
