guys anu ang ginagamit nyo na panglinis ng guitar? (bukod sa basahan) :-P
-
meron nang ganitong thread.. madami na
anyways.. i just use PLEDGE para sa body ng guitar ko
sa strings, just wipe them with a dry cloth after playing.
nasa case lang pag di ginagamit to avoid dust
-
Ako bro I use D'andrea Lemon oil for cleaning out dirts sa wood ng guitar ko tpos I apply D'andrea polish for it to shine :)
-
hmmmmmm... bukod sa basahan? tissue paper...hahahaha!!!
-
Just search that thread nalang please.
-
pledge din po kasi naubos na yung free meguires sa fender eh hehehehe
-

makabili na nga... :-D

wala naman ba epekto sa paint nung guitar?
pledge kasi pang wood diba?(am i ryt :?)

i use this:
(http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2201/picture022ic3.jpg)
i bought it at handyman for Php 44.75 a can and two years na to hindi ko pa na uubos!
IMO works better than Pledge because it cuts all the hand grease off the lacquer layer.
even an old guitar looks nice and clean after polishing with it :-D

Wala bang residue sir? I'm using pledge kase eh and the smell of MC makes me cringe with fear in using it for my guitars! Amoy pa lang ang tapang na! :-D
-
Nothing beats MicroBan. Yung "No residue" basahan.
-
oo nga..may ganito ng thread..pero tutal andito na....eto piece of advice...
don't use ordinary basahan..gamit ka ng pranela..ung cloth na ginagamit for cars..
cotton un na sobrang pino and lambot..baka kasi magasgasan lang ung gitara mo pagbasahan.kikintab nga, pero nagkakaguhit guhit sya...gasgas na un..
ang gamit ko lang na cleaning material eh d andrea guitar polish plus pranela..
wipe it til it shines sabi nga..
effective..nawawala ung moist ng gitara at bumabalik ung kintab at dulas..
eto rin yung turo sakin nong friend ko na may guitar shop sa raon.
-
pledge! :-D tapos panyo ang gamit koh.. pierre cardin pa!! hahaha
-
WD40 for the strings.... ErnieBall guitar polish spray... parang gusto ko i try yan MC. hmmm...
-
Wala bang residue sir? I'm using pledge kase eh and the smell of MC makes me cringe with fear in using it for my guitars! Amoy pa lang ang tapang na! :-D
i just just rub on lightly. nung bago pa id put a lot and end up with a lot of residue crud on the edges until i figured out the correct amount to apply... just a few dabs.
IMO though i love the smell of MC, well maybe its just me.
rawr! :lol:

yep. apply lemon oil or a fretboard conditioner thing (haha d ko alam anong mga brand or anong exact na tawag) regularly.
pangit naman tignan if your guitar looks all shiny and clean tapos the fretboard is all chippy and dirty from hand grease and whatever
-
Ang PLEDGE kc is good for cleaning and polishing wood-made items... :-D
-
What about the fretboard? Over time it gets dull and dry, and sometimes crusty from stuff in your sweat. I've heard about twice some guys using baby oil. I've read someone also using calamansi juice mixed with baby oil. What's up with that??
Alam ko lng, apply ng fretboard cleaner (naptha lighter fluid?), tapos lemon oil afterwards.
So how do you restore that smooth shiny glow to your fretboard? Any household items you use?
OT: I've searched "clean, cleaner, cleaning, fret clean..." but the search engine takes me to this thread. So hey, hope I posted right. :wink:
-
PLEDGE?!? You guys are crazy to use Pledge on your guitars. Matapang masyado ang Pledge. You might not immediately see the "damage" it can cause, but antayin niyo lang. I guarantee that hindi aabot sa "vintage years" yung mga gitara niyo kung puro Pledge ang panglinis ninyo.
If you can't find a good, real guitar polish, you're better off just wiping it down after every use with a dry, clean cloth.
-
vaisteen gave me a guitar polish for free... Ernie Ball ... pm nyo baka bigyan nya rin kayo... :-D
-
armor-all???? :? buti hindi nanlalagkit gitara niyo sir. :-D
turtle-wax? :-D

-
Ulitin natin. Alternative fretboard cleaners? Anyone? Instead of applying your commercial guitar cleaner, then applying lemon oil?
You're talking about guitar body di ba? Wag nyo sabihing PLEDGE pa rin sa fretboard?? NakNangTinapa, miracle solution na yan ah. :lol:
-
ni try ko lagyan ng turtle wax ung likod nung body nung electric guitar ko for experiment purposes.. its been a week na and makintab paren sya.. nalagyan na ng sangkatutak na pawis ung likod ng body pero isang wipe lang ng basahan makintab nanaman.. ibang iba ung kintab nung likod ng body compared dun sa harap.. nawala din ung mga light scratches.. wahahehehe.. pero suggestion ko lang, before nyo lagyan ng kahit anong pang linis, wipe your axe with dry cloth muna and make sure na walang dust or kahit anong libag.. ung sa kotse kasi namen naging permanent ung ibang dumi kasi nilagyan ko agad ng wax without cleaning it thoroughly... haha
-
Ako yung ginagamit ko yung pang polish ng auto mabango sya plus it gives in a good shine

yun rin narinig ko about pledge. masyado siyang matapang especially for thinly-finished wood.
gamit ko eto pa rin:

hindi nga advisable ang pledge. i think it's because it has silicon/e or something, mahirap nang i refinish ang guitar later on. pranela na lang, o kaya ung mga dunlop na guitar polish :-)
-
Paminsan minsan All purpose cleaner na pang car hehe
minsan minsan lang :-D
-
marami akong kakilala nitrocellulose yung finish ng kahoy they don't even bother cleaning it with anything other than a piece of fine cloth. para daw mas ma-relic. :-D
-
how those guitars with dull or weathered finish...(mine is a flat black)...is there a special polish for that or a good guitar polish will do fine

ernie ball guitar polish. or any brand would be fine as long as its GUITAR polish and not the multi-purpose types. im not the type to experiment kasi, especially when the guitar is on the line. baka mamaya magsisi pa ako. :-)

thanks i think i'll get one...btw (a bit O.T.) i remembered asking a dude in a music store here if that ernie ball guitar polish can be used on my weathered finish guitar and he replied "alam ko hindi pwede sa finish na yun..." and so i asked again if he could suggest a brand or something to use on my guitar and his reply "wala ako alam..." sorry guys i should posted this story on a different thread and too bad for that dude in the music store which proves his credibility...anyways thanks again for the advice
-

yap..pranela..plus any ordinary guitar polish would do..
saka what i usually do, before and after playing my guitar, i rub it with pranela, even without guitar polish.basta maalis lang ung pawis or dust..

Alright, time to revive this thread. No one seems to have answered too much with regards to the fretboard (mas pogi nga naman pag malinis at makintab yung body), so I dug around... I thought I'd post these links here:
http://www.ibanezrules.com/tech/grunge/grunge_3.htm
http://www.gibson.com/magazines/amplifier/1997/12/tip.html
Alternatives? For cleaner, a lot recommend naphta lighter fluid, they say water is not good for your wood, one guy said he used alcohol, and one guy said gasoline. For alternatives to lemon oil, linseed oil seems to be popular, and one post from a foreign board looks promising... olive oil. Seems we all have our methods!
If you have ebony, you'd have to do some considerable cleaning more often than rosewood. And if you have maple, you have to be more picky with what you put on, and these methods may not apply.
:-)
-
i just got myself the ernie ball guitar polish and i can't think of anything else it is easy to use and it doesn't leaves any strong smell and residues...also i got that those ghs fast fret for cleaning my fret 'n strings like the guitar polish easy to use and as i applied it the frets came alive...bottom line these cleaners can do their job but pricey against those alternatives...yep these alternatives can do their job but some can do their own hidden damages
-
pwede ko bang gamitin ung "tire black"? hehe :-D
-
tasaka pwede rin ba ako gumamit ng "tire black" sa string?? :-D :-D tsaka diba it can protect your guitar sa pawis?
-
kung mahal mo gitara mo, di ka papayag na tire black lang ilagay dyan.
tsaka last time i checked, tire black = tire :D

tanog lang pano mo lilinisin yun dust sa ilalim ng strings na hindi na tinatangal yun strings mejo masakit kasi kung sinisiksik yun dalire eh hahahaha

tanong lang:
bakit sasabihin natin may ganito nang thread pero rereplyan din naman natin? di ba kinukursanada pa natin yung mga tao na wag lalo gamitin yung search function? :-D

Dude mas ok kung ita-try mo yung Fast fret parang 3 or 400 yata sya per piece pero matagal mo din naman gagamitin eh...mas masarap maglaro kapag naka-fast fret promise! :-D

basahan! isuksok mo ung basahan na sprayed ng WD40. I do this method ever since i learned to play the guitar, mas tatagal buhay ng strings mo.. + hindi harmful sa guitar ang WD40, wag mo lang paliguan neto ung gitara :lol:
...sa wound string dry cloth lang dapat. oki?! :wink:
-
WD40 try ko bumile hehehe. pano sa string?
-
safe po ba gamitin ang olive oil para sa body ng guitar? yun kasi gamit ko pang-polish sa acoustic guitar ko, dalawang beses ko palang ginagawa kasi masyadong greasy pero shiny naman. gusto ko subukan sa electric guitar ko kaya lang baka kasi masira yung paint nya.
-
dude may nabasa rin ajo na ganyan! olive oil pero pang-polish lang ng fretboard. patak lang gagamitin mo per fret, tapos spread mo lang gamit ang pamunas.
If it's too shiny, masyado marami ginamit mo. :wink:
-
^hindi ba iipisin ang guitar mo pag ginamitan mo ng olive oil? :?
-
pano po ba maiiwasan ang pagkalawang ng screws??
-
^hindi ba iipisin ang guitar mo pag ginamitan mo ng olive oil? :?
Hmmm, better observe that. Noted. :lol:
-
^hindi ba iipisin ang guitar mo pag ginamitan mo ng olive oil? :?
never naman inipis yung acoustic guitar ko eh. pero ayoko na gamitin olive oil ang bilis kasi mawala nung kintab tyaka kahit onti lang ilagay ko greasy pa din. :|
-
sa body gamit ko ghs guitar gloss (hindi sya wax so walang buildup daw). sa fretboard alcohol (mas ok daw lighter fluid) then d andrea lemon oil to replace yung nawalang oil (wipe mo yung excess).
pagkabili ko nung greco LP autosol metal polish ginamit ko para matanggal light scratches then ghs para mas makintab kahit 30 yr old nagmukhang bago.
(http://cruz-ph.com/images/stories/music/grecobody2.jpg)
normal use pranela lang.
dun sa metal parts bihira lang ang metal polish kasi may abrasives baka numipis yung chrome/nickel plating lalo na gold madali maubos.
-
how much ba yung ernie ball polish?
andaming home remedies dito a. good for salads :-D :-D

Oo nga eh. Nag-aabang pa ko ng tips dito. Kasi kahit magpalit ako ng strings, mabilis na mag-kalawang. Tsaka may sabit, nararamdaman ko kapag ginagamit ko na. Kelangan ko nang linisin fretboard ko.
Alcohol then olive oil.. Mukhang yan ang susubukan ko next time.

common problem talaga yan. di kaya ng brute force gamit ang basahan.
pero im skeptical about those "home remedies" kasi im thinking, ernie ball, since it's a commercial brand, really researched and all. i dunno.
but im not taking chances on oils. im afraid of ipis :lol:
indeed, a very informative thread.

UPDATE: I found some steel wool in the SM supermarkets. Costs around 40 pesos.
Looks like this:
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/siore/Image046.jpg)
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh19/siore/Image047.jpg)
I used the edge of my pic to scrape off the stubborn green muck accumulated on my fretboard. Then I used the steel wool. Really works.
And uh, I tried olive oil. Left my guitar for one week in my bag, no ipis! Now my fretboard feels like new. Rosewood by the way, I wouldn't try it on maple. PM me for more. :wink:

Here's my two cents.
Most cleaning agents use ammonia (or any of its derivatives) as main ingredient mixed with some kind of wax or soap. MC is a good example. I think Pledge is also an ammonia based cleaning agent. And of course, the most popular ammonia-based cleaner of all of them is Windex. The strong smell of MC is ammonia. Check the label of your cleaner.
Is ammonia good for guitars? Here's my fearless opinion - yes and no. Ammonia is an aromatic compound. In small concentrations, ammonia is an excellent cleaning agent because it can remove light grease quickly. But ammonia may fade the tint/color of your guitar finish so be sure to wipe it off quickly. If the finish of your guitar is urethane or lacquer based, i think ammonia is safe to use. But to be sure, wipe it off quickly. Remember Murphy's Law. NEVER use ammonia-based or alcohol-based cleaning agents on old/vintage guitars - many of these guitars have shellac or special mix of varnish coatings that might be dissolved by these strong agents.
Can you use ammonia sold in Mercury? I haven't tried it. But you can experiment by diluting it. Start with an old furniture, on an obscure part.
How about household ammonia? Also known as Ammonium Hydroxide, I think you can use it but dilute it first. Household ammonia sold over the counter has around 5% to 10% concentration of ammonia. Still, when experimenting dilute it further first. It may be illegal to possess large quantities of Ammonium Hydroxide because it is used to produce methamphetamines (crack, shabu, etc.). Experiment on the proportions suitable to your needs. By the way, inhaling ammonia can cause dizziness an can be lethal if in high concentrations. It can trigger asthma attacks. So don't sniff MC and don't pick your nose after applying MC. :-D
Is MC just as good as Pledge? Or should I ask, is Pledge just as good as MC? No comment.
For waxing, carnauba or carnuba wax is a very tough wax and is good even for leather. It can give your guitar that extra coat of protection. It repels water and other liquids effectively. It's easy to apply but it is tough to remove. Dirt/Stain under a carnauba wax is difficult to remove.
Is car wax good for guitars? I don't know and I don't want to try, even the carnauba types. Car paints are designed to be tough. Guitar coating/paint is selected and applied taking into consideration the resonating properties of paints and coatings. I think car wax is too tough for guitars. I don't know.
What about necks and fretboards? For bare wood (fretboard) cleaning, I do not think ammonia-based cleaners will do.
So, what do I use for cleaning my guitars? I use an extra soft baby diaper (not the disposable types) dampened with distilled water (car battery water). Fresh tap water is hard water with chlorine (bleaching agent). I don't know if washable nappies are still being sold in department stores but I got mine long time ago. I just take the time to do that extra wiping for both the body and neck/fretboard, although any kind of soft cloth will do for the fretboard. No wax or oil. Since any kind of liquid will seep through the grains of wood, I dread using any kind of oil/wax because they do not evaporate like water. But I use fine coconut oil (home made clear) on my rosewood fretboards from time to time (once a year or maybe longer) to keep it from being parched.
Just my opinion...
-
eto ang advantage ng plain white guitars!
-
Cool. Pwede pala lighter fluid. Pero steel wool? Hindi kaya masira yung finish?
:mrgreen:
-

:mrgreen:
I just use it for the fretboard, to remove the tough green gunk accumulated on the edges. You have to cover up the body, coz when you start working on it, steel dust can fly up to the body, then that could scratch the finish on the body when you try to remove it.
Ayus yan bro. After steel wool, apply some lemon oil (or olive oil), silky smooth na afterwards, parang bago fretboard mo. Pero pang-rosewood lang, mind you. Di pwede sa maple boards.

just be sure to take them all off the wood when u apply wd40... i suggest you soak it in the solution overnight and dry it well, then place it back to your axe

natry niyo na po sir?? what happens after that?? ung parts ko kasi moslty corroded na eh, any improvements ?? thanks^^

magaling makatanggal ng rust ang wd-40.
kung sa string ko ilagay to? :? wala kayang epekto sa tunog ng string? :?

kung sa string ko ilagay to? :? wala kayang epekto sa tunog ng string? :?
awww i dont think that is a good idea... wd40 will help the rust loosen so it breaks off the corroded thing.. Rusty strings actually means portions of the steel have been corroded thus the expected tone from a newly installed string is way different from a corroded one.. applying wd40 will definitely shave off some rust but the tone of the string as you expect it to sound will entirely be different.. as for the rusty strings, i suggest you replace it with a new set instead..
-
hindi yun...may isa pa...nalimutan ko na....ubos na kasi eh.... :-D
Poly-glaze ba yun tol??
-
hmmm, makabili nga!! sa strings brod ok na ung d andrea na string cleaner IMHO. mura lang pero effective, para pang nag cream silk!! papasa sa hair dare comb sa sobrang smooth!!

guys, a lot of people say that using wd40 on your fretboard is unsafe, BUT!! i read something in the net w/c says a bit something that one of the 2000 uses of wd40 IS cleaning the fret and fret board of the guitar. heres the link. isa isahin niyo nalang!! cheers!!

to remove dirt from the fret wires i used a very fine steel wool
just isolate the fret by using any kind of tape to avoid scratching the fret board then wipe it parallel to the fret wire and you can see the difference hee hee tanggal ung mga brown etc na kung anu man kintab pa
ive done it already it really works
meron pa bang ibang alternative bukod sa lemon oil ?
wala kasi ako pambile eh
-
Olive oil pards. So far so good. After steel wool, "stripe" each fret (no soaking!), then spread with a cloth. Fret board like new. 8-)

No need for a guitar polish. I use Pledge before but after some time, you will see swirl marks.
then I discovered.
(http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z57/wormboy_79/DSC00509.jpg)
"For that scratch free cleaning"
P124.75 (1 piece) lang sa Handyman in Robinson's malls
super lambot siya, non-abrasive at hindi mo na kelangan ng additional cleaning agents to get the job done.
I have black guitars and it's a chore to clean the body (I clean my guitars after I play 'em).
After playing, yung sweat stains na naiwan sa finish... TANGGAL AGAD sa isang punasan lang! Look ma, no guitar polish involved!
Unlike kapag planela gamit mo na ilang punaspunas pa para matanggal ung sweat marks sa body... time consuming at baka may maiwan ba na swirl marks! heheheh
I got the idea sa Planet Waves site coz may product rin sila na micro-fiber cloth meant for instrument care...
MICRO-FIBER CLOTH
The Planet Waves Micro-Fiber polishing cloth acts like a magnet for dust, dirt, and oils, and lasts considerably longer than ordinary cloths. Woven from microscopic fibers, the Planet Waves Micro-Fiber Cloth is 10 times finer than silk, up to 30 times finer than cotton, and 100 times finer than a human hair. The fibers are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops" which cut through stains, attracting and absorbing dirt, smudges, and microparticles that ordinary cloths cannot reachor remove.
Best of all, the Micro-Fiber polishing cloth needs only minimal polish or no polish at all!
May mga micro-fiber cloth meant sa sasakyan pero hindi yun yung kinuha ko. Yung kinuha ko yung may picture ng furniture coz like the guitar, kahoy yun eh. Takot ako magasgas ung guitar ko! heheheh
I just wished I discovered this at an earlier time para naiwasan magkaroon ng swirl marks yung iba kung guitars. haaaaaaaaay! :|

meron din nito sa Lazer sa SM north.
ang bango nga eh, parang aspilet/aspirin yung amoy. hehe.
woohooo! tamang-tama! i'm currently residing in a dorm sa UP campus! :-D

No need for a guitar polish. I use Pledge before but after some time, you will see swirl marks.
then I discovered.

"For that scratch free cleaning"
P124.75 (1 piece) lang sa Handyman in Robinson's malls
super lambot siya, non-abrasive at hindi mo na kelangan ng additional cleaning agents to get the job done.
I have black guitars and it's a chore to clean the body (I clean my guitars after I play 'em).
After playing, yung sweat stains na naiwan sa finish... TANGGAL AGAD sa isang punasan lang! Look ma, no guitar polish involved!
Unlike kapag planela gamit mo na ilang punaspunas pa para matanggal ung sweat marks sa body... time consuming at baka may maiwan ba na swirl marks! heheheh
I got the idea sa Planet Waves site coz may product rin sila na micro-fiber cloth meant for instrument care...
MICRO-FIBER CLOTH
The Planet Waves Micro-Fiber polishing cloth acts like a magnet for dust, dirt, and oils, and lasts considerably longer than ordinary cloths. Woven from microscopic fibers, the Planet Waves Micro-Fiber Cloth is 10 times finer than silk, up to 30 times finer than cotton, and 100 times finer than a human hair. The fibers are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops" which cut through stains, attracting and absorbing dirt, smudges, and microparticles that ordinary cloths cannot reachor remove.

thanks i think i'll get one...btw (a bit O.T.) i remembered asking a dude in a music store here if that ernie ball guitar polish can be used on my weathered finish guitar and he replied "alam ko hindi pwede sa finish na yun..." and so i asked again if he could suggest a brand or something to use on my guitar and his reply "wala ako alam..." sorry guys i should posted this story on a different thread and too bad for that dude in the music store which proves his credibility...anyways thanks again for the advice
Effective ba 'to? Ngayon kasi flat black din gitara ko so di ko alam kung ano tamang panglinis. Iniisip ko kasi baka kumintab yung gitara pag tagal e. Gusto ko mapanatili yung finish nya. Any suggestions?

pag flat lang ang finish, no need for other "gloss polishes".. i have a PRS SE Standard na matte lang ang finish, my bro has an Ibanez RG321 na flat black lang din.. hindi talaga sila kikintab, what we use is a 3M microfiber cloth.. effective siya sa pagtanggal ng fingerprints at ibang sweat marks..

Salamat sa reply.
So ibig mong sabihin plain cloth lang talaga sir wala ng gagamiting panlinis na kemikal, etc?

yes bro.. walang chemical.. iba yung plain cloth kesa microfiber cloth eh.. mas sosyal ng konte yung microfiber cloth, nilalabhan lang din siya normally pag madumi na.. pero iba txture niya kesa plain cloth..
a plain cloth might take you forever (exagge) para matanggal yung sweat marks at fingerprints sa satin/flat/matte na finish.. pero yung microfiber cloth, ilang wipes lang makikita mo mawawala na yun..
3M is a good brand.. meron niyan sa handyman.. forgot the price though..

Pag hindi mo napunasan ng maayos, may mga white na residue na tumitigas dun sa mga singit-singit ng mga pyesa. Mas dumudumi itsura over time.

Less than 150php yung isang regular sized na spray can. Meron sa Handyman. I'm sure meron din sa ACE.

You can spray a THIN coat of clear lacquer. Wet sand or rubbing compound. Then wax.

Nakakatanggal ba ng kalawang ang WD40?
Baking Soda ba nakakatanggal din ng rust?
-
Nakakatanggal ba ng kalawang ang WD40?
A bit. Depende sa extent ng kalawang. Pag sobrang grabe, di niya kaya tanggalin totally. WD starts for Water Displacement. It primarily gets the water out, isa sa ingredients ng rust.
Baking Soda ba nakakatanggal din ng rust?
Haven't tried.
-
buti pinaalala nyo... maglilinis nga pala ako ng gitara ko... naglilibag na yung body e. :-D
-
ano pinakamabisang pang tanggal ng kalawang?

dumaan ako sa yamaha kanina and nakita ko yung guitar tech nila naglilinis ng mga squier strat and tele using pledge (lemon ata yun kasi kulay yellow) and I asked him kung yun ba gamit niya always for cleaning and sabi niya yun daw so nilapitan ko ang isang squier strat na naka-display and parang pumangit yung finish niya kung titignan mo ng maigi.

Ano magandang panglinis ng nitro finished guitar? Para mawala yun haze sa gloss dahil sa pawis at yun swirls. Yun mabibili lang sa pinas.

don't use ordinary basahan..gamit ka ng pranela..ung cloth na ginagamit for cars..
effective..nawawala ung moist ng gitara at bumabalik ung kintab at dulas..
