Re: Smoke damage
Sorry to hear the news John, our thoughts are with you.
From experience, if it's light smoke damage to the front of say, an oscilloscope, car polish (not wax) applied sparingly has worked in the past, Autoglym resin polish for example. Heavy smoke damage could be tricky.
Solvents, T-Cut et al tend to remove the legends as well as the paint finish.
My wife laughs at me for having OCD moments regarding switching everything off. Now that she has seen what happens when something electrical 'lets go' it's not nearly so funny.
The workshop has an RCD trip by the door, so when exiting my 'escape room' I hit the trip button. For belt & braces, during thunder storms or holidays/extended periods of absence, I switch the workshop & parts of the house off at the main board. Even our classic cars when stashed away have their batteries removed.
Not nice. For me it was the neighbours fault at our old house, where they were not insured. Two cars, fence, shed, part of the house. Excellent.
