How to clean smudges
Re: How to clean smudges
Can I make a plea to you all that when you do fix your smudges that you use a brand of household cleaner that DOESNT contain silicates.. It wont make a dimes worth of difference to you but to me or anyone who has to work on the finish in the future.....
Thanks for your help with this..

Re: How to clean smudges
Actually I've been meaning to ask: do you have a recommended cleaner/polish for old nitro finishes? My Jazz is in desperate need of a cleanup but I'm hesitant to use just any old stuff lying around the house. I think I have some Martin brand polish around here somewhere but I've never actually used it.muttley wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2018 5:44 am Can I make a plea to you all that when you do fix your smudges that you use a brand of household cleaner that DOESNT contain silicates..

Re: How to clean smudges
Thats about as much as you need. A soft cloth a bit of mild soap and water not too wet. Wipe it off quick. For stubborn marks a bit lighter fuel or naphtha.. Steer clear of any solvents on nitro..

The only thing I really clean on any of my guitars is pick dust and hand grime off the bridge. I hate pick dust. A blast of canned air takes care of that.

Re: How to clean smudges
You guys would hate my guitars. I have the worst face dandruff. Nothing i can do to make it better or less irritating. I can drink 100 litres of water a week and have tried ever face cream known to man and it just a thing. I have to dust my guitars pretty much every time i use them.
Disgusting.

Re: How to clean smudges
I gig my guitar daily ...... I basically do nothing except haphazardly wipe it with a chamois maybe.
Ya'll would hate on me after seeing my gits but they're just tools to me ...... I don't much care what they look like ......
I make much more effort to keep hardware clean because it'll rust and not work properly.

I think that stuff the guy in the video uses is pretty awesome. I might get some and try it on guitars I'm not fond of any more and see what they turn into...
Re: How to clean smudges
Have none of you guys ever heard of cleaning off with talc...
Honestly... I give up..

LOL I'll stop by the drug store on the way home and stock up on guitar cleaning talc!
Thanks fellas, sounds like a soft cloth just slightly dampened with soapy water is the ticket. I've got sweat and oil smudges all over that guitar (hey, it got hot in my old studio).
