Polish

[Micko]

Hi

 

Can I use Jim Dunlop guitar on a 2004 Les Paul goldtop.

It says in the packaging that certain polishes damage the finish

 

Many thanks

I used the Dunlop 65 cleaner and polisher. I haven't heard of or had any problems

Hi thanks

 

The Dunlop 65 is okay with the nitro cellulose finish?

 

Thanks

Yes, you can. I'm using Lizard Spit polish at the moment.

I used to use lizard spit but it browned my toggle

I've never had a problem with Lizard Spit.

They usually just add "certain (insert anything here) may damage your guitar's finish. It's pretty much a liability thing. I have seen people put anything from Dunlop 65, to Goo Gone Gel and lighter fluid on a nitro finish to get stuff off of it. Most liquids won't do much, just wipe em off after you're done and stay away from any sort of motor oil / car fluids ;)

 

Stands are by far the thing I've seen mess up nitro finishes the most...

I use Virtuoso Premium Cleaner and Polish and it's great stuff. Makes the guitar shine like it's brand new, feels nice and smooth, lasts quite a while, removes/masks scratches and smells good too.

I use Naptha (lighter fluid) when gunk or grime is really bad on finish. I have also used Virtuoso Cleaner, but do not care for their polish. I prefer Gibson's pump polish and have the best results with it. Never tried the Dunlops but may give it a try as well.

+1 me too! I unfortunately used polish on one vintage; sob...lost the old patina...but sure is shinny!

 

If I feel like it, once in awhile I use carnuba car wax on nitro.

Yes, I use it on my Les Pauls!

I prefer yellow mustard and grilled onions

I wipe mine down with the free Fender rags my shop gives away when you buy stuff. Old English lemon oil for the fretboards.

I like Old English and there is a reddish Old English that adds moisture to dry fingerboards.

If you can find it (and a co-signer) try a bottle of Stradella violin polish. I've used it for over 40 years.

Good stuff Maynard.

I ten to agree. back in the early 70's I owned and SG and L6S and when I asked some of the local players one said he used Pledge. I spend over 25 (until I sold them) years polishing both guitars with spray furniture polish with no damage to the finish.

Howard's feed and wax also does a great job. I've used it for years. I use it on fingerboards as well. Available at home depot.
