Members Electric Blues Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 Ernie Ball guitar polish. The stuff works really well. I just spray a few pumps on a soft cloth (not even directly on the guitar) and it cleans everything off without leaving residue behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A Happy Crowd Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 I just breathe on it to fog it up a bit and then wipe it with a clean t-shirt. Works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jim85IROC Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 Most new guitars have a urethane based finish that isn't really much different from an automotive urethane clearcoat. I haven't let my guitars get dirty enough to need to be cleaned per-se, but I do wax them regularly with my favorite car wax (Zaino). That keeps them super smooth and shiny, and the wax really helps prevent any kind of crud from building up in the first place. For my fingerboards I use some fingerboard oil that I bought at the local guitar shop, but usually after a couple days it seems like the oil has evaporated out of the fingerboard, so I may try something else next time.

Yeah I've used Sonus Klasse AIO on real grimy guitars and they shine up real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wagdog Posted January 28, 2009 Members Share Posted January 28, 2009 The most I ever do is wipe the excess sweat off a guitar after a gig. I also wipe down my strings. I really never purposely "clean" a guitar. Used, not abused, that's the motto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw it in a duck pond, then rub the fingerboard with bacon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
