A few quick wipes is all you need to clean and polish your guitar in one go. The polish is a water-based formula that is totally safe to use on any common lacquer guitar finish. Directions: clean and remove dust from the surface. Spray a bit of the liquid onto a polishing cloth, then apply it to the instrument's surface.
The harder the finish, the better it responds to rubbing out. Yes, this terminology is very hard to discuss with a straight face. Anyway, here’s a general guideline for wait times. Lacquer, Shellac, Water-Based Finishes: 1 week. Oil-Based Varnish: 2 weeks. If you want to play it safe, wait 3-4 weeks for all finishes. The only thing to safely use on a nitro finish is Naptha: It should do a decent job. Some of it depends on if the stains are worn in the soft nitro finish. All the cleaners they sell are worthless. I clean my non relic guitar with Naptha . The whole thing. Neck body etc. Works great. Just don't smoke::::: Learned about this when I refinished a
Fill the chip with the matching color using either a syringe or a similar item. If repairing a clear coat apply a small amount of super glue to seal the chip directly over the previous layer. The finish should sit slightly above the surface of the guitar body. Allow to dry. Drag the razor blade over the raised area.
Mar 18, 2000. Atlanta/Loganville. Nail polish is essentially nitrocellulose lacquer - yep, the same stuff of guitar finishes. Had you waited to hear, someone would've warned you about the acetone. In the chemistry world, acetone is known as natures greatest solvent next to water. That's what happened to your guitar.
My guitar is a Blueridge with a Poly finish. Poly is very hard, which makes it difficult to remove scratches, and prone to swirls. I've seen some posts recommending auto finish swirl removers, and there was some mention of 3M products, but no specfics on which products, and how to apply them, and what type of applicator to use.

Stickers: Depending on the size of the sticker and the strength of the glue, you might be able to get away with using your finger nail. For larger, more aggressive stickers that put up a fight, I've found that a CD (or the CD blank that comes in a spindle of CD-R's) does a nice job. It has a much larger radius and working area, plus a nice
Naptha (lighter fluid) and a soft cotton cloth (old T-shirt or flannel shirt) ought to take most of the lung-gunk off the guitar, and is safe for the finish. Use a few drops of naptha, rub in small circles, repeat with a clean section of cloth, then buff with a dry clean section of cloth, repeat until shiny.
It will also remove the sticky sensation from your neck. Only use the 0000 steel wool and leave the rest for later. If you use more aggressive steel wool (000 or 00) you will most likely rub against the protective satin finish. The guitar’s finish should be removed. This guitar neck is made of Fender Telecasters from the early 1970s.
The guitar has a gloss coat on over the wood like most higher end ones, and I'm not the biggest fan of the shine. If this was a higher end guitar I'd just leave it, but feel comfortable removing the gloss from this one. Any recommendations on the best general process to remove the gloss finish on an acoustic guitar?
Features: A classic formula that is trusted by guitarists. Pros: Comes with a cloth and a bottle of wax for additional shine. Cons: Higher price but it’s for a small guitar care kit (polish and wax) The Dunlop Formula 65 Polish and Cleaner is definitely among the top polishes out there. Dec 02, 2021. DM3MD, When I'm making a celluloid pickguard, after cut-out and edge scraping, I finish it by removing the top surface's scratches with a series of 800 thru 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper (s) & Virtuoso Polish. I wet-sand it by hand, then polish with an old cotton t-shirt, and you can see the result. The rough look of the guitar stays pretty much the same for many years. The scratches also are less obvious on a satin finish guitar. Additionally, stain marks and fingerprints also remain hidden on these guitars. But eventually, you must clean every guitar. Cleaning a satin finish guitar requires more effort. Gloss finish guitars are easier to Occasionally, a very dried-out ’board may need a couple of oil applications, but so long as the guitar is played regularly and kept clean, oiling the ’board is something that may only need to be done once a year. The final step is to polish the frets using Crimson Fret Rubbers – I’m pleased with the outcome. Hbaiy1W.
