OK, first question is what is the purpose of the cleaning? To rough up the surface for the new coating to stick? To remove the old varnish?
I looked up the MDS sheets on these two suggested cleaners.
The two that you mentioned don't seem to be made for the same purpose.
The first cleaner you mentioned has some nasty chemicals in it:
SODIUM HYDROXIDE; caustic soda; soda lye
ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER; 2-butoxyethanol; butyl cellosolve
SODIUM XYLENE SULFONATE
SODIUM DODECYLBENZENE SULFONATE; linear alkyl aryl sodium sulfonate; Sodium
DDBSA
DIETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOBUTYL ETHER; 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)-ethanol; butyl carbitol
ALCOHOLS, C9-11, ETHOXYLATED; linear primary alcohol ethoxylate
While the other cleaner is a relatively harmless glass cleaner and it has much less of some of the same strong chemicals, it is classified as a carcinogen, while the former one is not.
I suspect that I'll be needing this procedure, as I have three 7 inch sets in line for restoration, including a T54, along with a Pilot TV37, that had high voltage issues when it warmed up, before it took a swim last year during my basement flood.
