bubinga5 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 (edited) I have an old Lakland 55-01 and the neck is VERY grimey..It has a laquer on the neck as you may know..I have tried soap and water but it not coming off..I took the neck off and you can see the color it used to be..I would like to get it back to its original state..including the headstock.. The bass was made in 2003 so i doubt its ever been cleaned.. What isn the best thing to use?? Thanks Edited June 18, 2009 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Bassy Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 WD40 will loosen a lot of grime, and is prtty benign (ie unlikely to affect any laquer/varnish). Or try IPA (Iso Propyl Alcohol) Or try the orange oil based label remover stuff. You could try lemon oil, as sold for fret boards, as this will also lift a lot of grime, but its expensive compared to the above three. But as they always say - 'test on an unobtrusive area first' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
