Another thing I've used is rubbing compound for cars. (I've used Turtle Wax brand - it's a white paste)
Just rescued a 1-owner Maytag Gray Ghost!

Paint suggestions...
Hi again, Tom,
As you can see in the photos of the restoration of my Model 30, I chose a green from Valspar (Lowe's) called "Leafy Rise" in satin finish. It's not quite as gray-green as the original, but since I was repainting the entire machine, it was as close as I could find.
If you're interesting in trying to get a custom mix, here is a formula (can't remember from where I got it, but it was probably from a clubmember here, or perhaps the Maytag Collector's Club. Formula as follows -
Paint mixing formula for Maytag Model 30 (circa 1933):
Dupont Centari paint for one quart the formula is:
758S 45.5 732A 105.5 756A 185.5 705A 545.5 700A 945.5
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hope to see some pics as your restoration progresses!

Unexpected break
I got called out of town unexpectedly for work and had to put this on the back burner for a couple of weeks. I'm back and will be starting again this weekend.
I was able to find a complete original service bulletin for the Models 80 and 90 that was printed in 1952. I am going to study it this week before proceeding further.
