  • Recommendation for a good guitar polish? Please

    Re arranging my music room tomorrow ....... so I thought I give the guitars some good ol elbow grease and shine them up.

    So what does everyone use? Thought I hear some recommendations .....

    I've been using Dunlop's Formula number 65 for ages, and maybe its time for a change ....


    I want showroom shine !!!

          I use 3m or similar rubbing compound to get the build up off. Then i hit it with Maguiers 26.

              Are you trying to get rid of any scratches/swirl marks, or just get shine? Wax alone won't help with scratches. I use 3M Finesse-It (fine compound) and Perfect-It (swirl mark remover) when needed, then whatever car wax I happen to be using at the time.

                I guess both. Couple of my guitars do have swirl marks.

                Where can I find this 3M stuff? Home Depot? Wal-mart? Can you provide a link?

                Thx

                  Some auto parts stores carry the 3M stuff, but I usually find it at paint supply places where they sell automotive paint & finishing supplies. Here's one online place:

                    Fender's Mist & Wipe polish is excellent. It's made by Meguiar's, as is the rest of their polish, wax and cleaning products.
                    Discover the sound of Fender, the spirit of rock-n-roll since 1946. Shop Fender guitars, basses, amplifiers, audio equipment, accessories, apparel and more.

                      I prefer the 3M products, but they are a little hard to find. Pep Boys used to carry it, but no longer does. National Auto still does. That is the only place I can find it locally. Other than that you have to find it online.
