What type of finish, polymer or lacquer finish, would my 1987 gloss yamaha piano have and what can I use to clean it.

I would suggest, and to be safe, that you use the Cory polish for high gloss finishes. You can purchase it through pianosupplies.com which is affiliated with, and supports, this forum.

In 1987 Yamaha was using polyester resin on ebony gloss pianos.

I was misled by the title of this thread into supposing that Yamaha had gone out of business.
