To polish or not to polish? in Gibson Repair and Restoration Posted May 28, 2020 Greetings. i have a 1960 J45 in very good condition. I’ve done very little cleaning and maintenance. I hear two opinions on polishing the body and fretboard cleaning and need some guidance. 1. (A) Polish the body with either Gibson or Virtuoso polish or (b) don’t polish it at all 2. To clean the fretboard (a) use 0000 steel wool ; (b) use a credit card 3. On the fretboard, use lemon or mineral oil feel free to direct me to the most authoritative directions and/or corresponding YouTube video thanks
