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.
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!  :|

dapat bayaran ka nila sa pag-ADS hehe.
meron ako gamit similar dyan, 3M yata yung brand, parang gaza na kulay puti. At saka yung free na pamunas dun sa binili kong screen protector sa cellphone.
God Bless!

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..

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?

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.
