Saberslash Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yesterday I played a show, wearing t-shirt with print of one rock band I like..Long story short, where guitar touched that rubbery print on t-shirt, there are some spots now, like chemical reaction in nitro lacquer..Tried today to remove it with Gibson Pump polish, did not go away..Any advices or this is permanent battle scar? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG Sydney Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Good-day Saberslash, I had the same problem on my SG GIBSON 2019. Try ETERNASHINE guitar polish and scratch remover. This product got rid of the stain on my guitar. Check out reviews on Tube. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Perhaps naptha would work on this. I have used it sparingly on light marks & it came out fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saberslash Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 Is naphta same as Zippo lighter fluid? Is zippo fluid safe to use on nitro? ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eracer_Team Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Yes lighter fluid is a cleaning agent, yes safe on nitro. Yes the the finish gets wrecked with some T shirt surfaces. No namptha will not fix it. Same goes with mosquitoe spray like OFF, it will wreck a nitro finish ( found out the hard way) Also you missed Gig rule #1: never advertise another band when you're playing a gig. From what I know about nitro surfaces, you'll probably want to get some nitro from Stewmac, put it on the effected area Nitro will blend into itself. Since it's on the back, if it was me I'd leave it as a gig scare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I would try Virtuoso cleaner and if it comes off, then the polish. But what a lot of people don't realize is that polishing is actually removing a little of the finish to get down to a fresh layer, so caution and use sparingly. I played an outdoor gig in the evening once and the mosquitos were killing us. So between sets we loaded ourselves up with bug spray and sure enough when I got home and took my guitar out to clean it the back was a mess where it came in contact with my shirt that had a lot of bug spray on it. It took a long time, but eventually after several cleanings and polishing it was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
