I am not fond of lacquered horns because they are difficult to work on/ repair and difficult to clean. However, I discovered a tip that makes it a little easier to keep acid from your fingers from eating through the lacquer (as fast).

Windex. Or another glass cleaner, I suppose it wouldn’t have to be Windex.

Keep a small bottle, like trombone players have to mist their slide, in the case and use it to wipe the horn down at the end of the day. Spray directly on the horn or on a rag and wipe the most touched parts of the horn.

Hopefully, you can prolong the life of the lacquer and enjoy a streak-free shine!
