Re: what guitar polish do you use?

I use trick polish as a cleaner. I've never really tried to buff up the finish, just get any stuff off the neck.

I have some Martin polish. I almost never use it though. Usually if there's something on the finish, a damp rag or paper towel gets rid of it. I don't think polish is really meant as a cleaner. Those lacquer finishes on Gibsons and earlier Hamers can be kind of touchy.

Interesting subject I guess. I'm pretty sure I've seen advice on cleaning nitro lacquer. I just don't remember what it was.

Virtuoso polish and cleaner. I first heard about it at the Les Paul Forum when I was looking for something to clean some dull patches caused by sweat. Couldn't get those off with other cleaners/polishes I tried.

It's excellent - give it a try!

I use Ken Smith polish. It works well, and doesn't streak like some polishes do. Dunlop, polish also works well.

Sprinter

For Heavy dirty guitars, I use 3M Cleaner wax, medium. It cuts through a lot of gunk well. For regular polishing I use Pledge.

I use Martin polish. Or whatever is handy.

Polish ? Whats that stuff for ?

I thought the rage was all about taking a belt sander to the guitar these days to get that "relic" look lol
 
Re: what guitar polish do you use?

I use Kyser polish.

I rub the guitar over with a damp cloth, then dry, then polish.
 
Re: what guitar polish do you use?

I've got martin guitar polish that I use occasionally. Lately I've been lazy, so I've been using the old-fashioned polish known as sweat. The haze on my LP is never coming off.

It will with Virtuoso cleaner!

Eh, I'm not concerned anymore... when the haze didn't come out with a machine polish I pretty much accepted the fact that it wasn't going anywhere. I assume the sweat has chemically changed the clear coat... it might buff out if I tried a blush eraser, but I'm beyond the babying stage. Let her age, I say.

That's cool.

But if you change your mind...... :)

I'd reached the point of thinking the haze would never come off my Standard, having tried several different products. A rub with Virtuoso cleaner did shift it though.

I liked it so much I bought the company :D

I use Ernie Ball guitar polish with fender polishing cloths

I haven't polished a guitar in three years, but I bought a bottle of the dunlop 65 with my Jazzmaster.
