jdgm Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi Marco The EB polish has got good reviews on Amazon, seems to be a good product though I haven't used it. It contains some silicon. If the Pelham Blue finish is nitrocellulose (which I think it might be) the advice - see link below - is not to use any polish on it at all if possible, only a slightly damp cloth. The quality and softness of the cloth matters too as even that can create a mark or leave light scratching on a nitro finish. So I'm thinking no, don't use it. Forum members please correct me if I'm wrong - some good advice on this will be appreciated. https://blog.andertons.co.uk/learn/how-to-clean-a-guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Nick over in the acoustic forum explained to me that the silicon will make it very difficult to repair nitro finishes or on acoustics, make it extremely difficult to apply the doubles sided tape for the pickguards.

That is a 2016 guitar it is not something of the 70's and the case is still in a good state of repair , mint i would say . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
