What cleaning products do you guys and gals use?
I use the following:

1-GHS Fast Fret for cleaning strings.....works great and comes in a handy round tube for storage.

2-Yamaha Guitar Polish for cleaning the top of the guitar...........easy on, easy off.

3-Lemon Oil for the fret board........a liquid in a spray bottle but works great.....hard to get to under the strings to cloth down but worth the effort.

Feedback welcomed!

:D

This is going to sound terrible, I'm sure, but I've only ever used lemon oil and pledge and my Elite. Project Viper got a good going over with Flitz, Goo Gone, pledge and lemon oil.

This is gonna sound worse....

TurtleWax2000 synth polish on gloss finishes when they need it... on the metal too.

Butchers Boston polish on the necks of some guitars

Good old Fender Mist and Wipe stuff... does a good job.

I'm not big on lemon oil - its mostly just petrol distillates (ie mineral spirits, turpentine whatever you wanna call it).

Flitz is the bomb on most metal. Its great (but IS abrasive no matter what they say... so be careful on some plastics and finishes).

Pledge is good too!

I use Gibson guitar polish. Buy yourself some nice cloth hankies to wipe her down. I always hear some shops say. "oil them up" I use to take my one guitar to the local chop shop and i would literally get it back that way. I personally do not like that method. Yeah looks good, smells ok,but trying to hold onto to it to play can be a real bitch...slippppp...lol
