As far as polish goes though, I prefer the Virtuoso cream polish.

The polish, not their cleaner.

The cleaner only needs to be used if the axe looks like it has been out chopping wood.

I have never tried the Gibson polish in this picture before.

I also use the Gibson pump polish lightly once a month, and I always wipe down my guitars with a cotton cloth after playing them, and I use the String Cleaner gadget across the strings about four times afterwards too.

Just wiping the strings after each play session can make them last up to a month longer. But polish doesn't matter if you're constantly playing/have corrosive sweat. (Rory G, the reason why his guitars had so little paint left)
