Funky Dunky Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) This old chestnut, again.... I did a forum search and got some interesting results, including "never use any sort of spray polish" and "use WD40". My Squier has a lacquered type of finish, so it cleans up well without any product - a soft cloth gets it nice and shiny. But my Sterling SUB Ray is a different animal - no lacquer, non-glossy type of finish on the body and it has fingerprints on it which bain't coming off with just a rub of a cloth. I had a gander on the Sterling website but the only info I could find pertained to the cleaning of the fretboard. Any recommendations? I don't necsssarily want to shine it - just clean the grubbiness off it. Taverymuch Edited August 24, 2015 by Funky Dunky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Buy some guitar polish. Should do the trick! I got some from my local music shop, unsure of the brand but it's pink. Wipe on with one cloth, wipe off with another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I really rate this stuff: https://giggear.co.uk/buy/dr-duck-s-ax-wax-guitar-cleaner-and-string-lube?gclid=Cj0KEQjwgeuuBRCiwpD0hP3Cg4kBEiQAHflm1jvQdTsEeBv9Ku6JGTF5-r7WuWs68UDGNuE5z0bicjYaAp188P8HAQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Thanks, chaps. Dr Duck's axe wax acts as a string lube? What's a string lube? Does it make them slicker to play? Emailed Sterling and received an email telling me to use glass cleaner and a paper towel - I have to admit, I was not expecting that!

Thunderbird Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I like GHS guitar gloss or the Fender spray on polish I would say try a couple of brands and see what you like best as for the board lemon oil is my choice on rosewood or mild soapy water just a touch on maple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
