Yes, the tougher the better.
Did it leave the finish alone?

A little late now, but this stuff worked for me when lemon oil didn't.

Used it on a black finish and had no issues.

Naptha (lighter fluid) is gentle enough for antique furniture that has a shellac or nitro finish. Most guitars will not be affected.
poly finish is safe with white spirit so that's what I use. or gasoline. super effective.

Yes it did. Polished it nicely in fact.
LOL - I ALWAYS use a Zippo lighter in the woods! As a prepare I stock the Napthla!!!! Didn't even think of it.
Good to know this! I've never used it before.
Well, you got it. I was going to recommend: naphtha (lighter fluid, white gas), paint thinner (mineral spirits), gasoline, lemon oil, WD40.
Definitely NOT nail polish remover (it has acetone in it which will quickly dissolve lacquer based finishes, will probably be ok for poly. But naphtha or mineral spirits is best and safe for all finishes.

Yes - basic Zippo lighter fluid. Get one at the Walmart checkout. great lighters all around. refillable, repairable. Pretty wind proof too! Plus you have lighter fluid for starting BBQ's, Motley Crue videos, or removing gunk!
