What do people think about Howard's “feed-n-wax” wood polish and conditioner for Allen organs?

SMP,
I wouldn't recommend it. Howard's, I believe, is based on turpentine and/or kerosene. That will eat through whatever finish Allen put on their organs. Allen's recommended maintenance is just quality soap, and water. Wax will build up on the finish and cause it to dull more quickly.

Thanks Michael! I ask because I acquired an MDS-15 and the lady who very kindly gave me it (for a song) used that product on it. I must admit I often use the easy wood polishing wipes just to “go over” the external panels.
Diverting a little; because I've been so busy since I came to the US; how is your Allen ADC8000?Personal organs - (1) Allen custom Heritage III 58-Q (Q345); (2) Allen ADC 6300A (both in the drawknob console)Comment

SMP,
Check the ingredients on the label. If there are no petroleum or paint thinner products, then it might work.
The ADC-8000 is still in storage because my garage still isn't finished due to medical reasons. I'm just a month out of surgery, and hope to get everything taken care of this summer. I have pictures on my computer I drool over, though!:embarrassed: Thanks for asking.
