Members Phrostbit Posted March 20, 2006 Members Share Posted March 20, 2006 Allrighty then. I've used Fender, Martin, Dunlop, Gibson ... etc. etc. All of them are pretty much the same thing. My local shop turned me onto this the other day: http://www.powerchord-usa.com/how_it_works.htm This stuff is the BEST cleaner/polisher I have ever tried. Let me tell you I was skeptical about it when they first tried to sell me on it. Especially when I had a bottle of Fender and Martin polish at home to use up. But in the last couple of weeks here I broke down and bought some to try it out. It's amazing! All the surface pick scratches in my guitars are GONE! My high gloss finished will not take on fingerprints any more. But above all that, the white pick dust that used to collect in between my pickups ... won't collect anymore. It just doesn't even stick to the guitar. Try some of this stuff. You won't be dissapointed! --Phrostbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Outrider Posted March 20, 2006 Members Share Posted March 20, 2006 This sounds stupid, but I use Honda Polish spray cleaner...gets bugs off my motorcycle, too! Too bad I never get bugs on my guitar. I'd be prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
