Mr. Robot Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I apologise if this has come up before. I have gibson guitar polish for the nitro body, I have Gibson fret board cleaner for the fret board, but can any one suggest what is safe to use on nickel plated humbuckers. Mine on my 175 are getting quite dirty (a buld up of sweat and skin I thinkg) and the marks dont come off easily. Any suggestions appreciated.

Mr. Robot Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just went to a Gibson dealer. He told me that while Gibson sells a metal cleaner, it has an abrasive in it. So..he recommended warm water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Gotta agree with Axe on the Naptha it's not abrasive and cleans well and won't damage finishes Warning Label should be here Another product that if used very sparingly that I've had good luck with when something is truly nasty is Simichrome it is an abrasive however so you can't do it often or you'll destroy the finish however if something is really bad or even mild rust and oxidation Simichrome will clean it and while abrasive it has very fine grit so it even works well on things like aluminum brass even plexiglass and other hard plastics even bakelite but I only use it when it's a choice between polish or replacement...

hbomb76 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Don't forget the NevR-Dull too. It's safe for pretty much all metals (I would use it LIGHTLY on any gold hardware-equipped guitars out there though), and has brought many a humbucker and Maestro back to shine for me.
