Chris the Gent Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I have noticed that the chrome on my Jack Casady bass is tarnishing really easily, i was wondering what you guys do to try and stop this? Is there any secret? or just have to rub it when you notice? -Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 My suggestion: Wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe and wipe ... and when you get done with that ... polish! It's just like owning a black guitar, Chris: lovely to look at, but a magnet for fingerprints and dust! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Gent Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 thanks Jim, just as i susspected, i was hoping for some kind of 'Magic Tarnish Repellant Stuff For Chrome Hardware On Guitars To Keep Them Nice And Shiney' stuff in a bottle, maybe should try and invent it, they'd make a fortune......and it has a catchy name........

Elias Graves Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I would buy that. Unfortunately... Good old elbow grease is the answer. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiman56 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Actually, Chris ... give this stuff a try: http://www.jimdunlop.com/index.php?page=products/pip&id=219&pmh=products/maintenance We use it on all of our guitars at the store and it works really well. You can imagine how grungy our guitars get ... some times you fell like getting a putty knife to scrape off the crud (what do people have on their hands, anyway?). The stuff cleans 'em right up with a couple of "spritzes" ... wood, hardware, the whole darn thing! It's cheap too. WE go through it pretty quickly, but at home this bottle should last for months ... unless you have cruddy hands too! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
