Members Faust2016 Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 Just a small booster pack.. This one: And now it says on the back all this blablabla to keep you finish great looking/clean/and what not.. But it doesn't say I can use it on the fretboard, but I assume that that's what it's used for as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madmikeLP Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 because its wax and cleaner that is probably meant for the clear coat finish on the guitar only. For the fretboard, this is the {censored}: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rodimus Prime Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 don't use it for the fretboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 Why would you think that something designed to keep your finish clean and fresh is good for your fretboard? This is like looking at a wax treatment for your car and saying it must be for the glass, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like looking at a wax treatment for your car and saying it must be for the glass, too. Because it says: Safe for all common finishes. Since some guitars are natural finished I thought I might be able to use it for the fretboard as well.. Is that such a weird thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JBecker Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 A little. The goal of protecting the body finish is very different than cleaning or keeping fret boards generally healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members silverfacechamp Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 Educate me Fretboards are generally unfinished, bare wood, save for a light conditioning coat or what have you. Thus, it is prone to drying because it isn't sealed, so you want to use things like lemon oil and the like to moisturize, clean, and condition it. A 'natural' finished guitar body still has some sort of finish on it, which acts as a barrier between the chemicals in that kit and the actual wood.
