This post pertains to all wood instruments not just steel guitars.- Here goes - I got a nice Epiphone acoustic from a private party , not a high dollar guitar , but just right for my needs . . Brought it into the workshop and proceeded to give it a good cleaning with what I thought was a clean , soft cloth and guitar polish . . There was something on or in the cloth that scratched the surface - not bad , but a little worse than your average pick scratch . . . I used some "scratch remover" , buffed like a dog , but no dice - still there . .
Anyone got advice or a home remedy for getting them out ? ? Thx.

Many guitar polishes only contain cleaners and waxes, but no real polishing ingredient. Other posters like the Meigulars and 3M products, but I like the old fashioned DuPont White Polishing Compound. A little dab of compound on a wet clean white T-shirt should do the trick.

Novus No.1, Novus No.2 and Novus No.3 are pretty much all I've ever needed for everything but the aluminium. For that I use Mothers metal polish.

She will dash your hopes on what seems to be whim, only to tease you into renewing the relationship once more so she can do it to you all over again...and yet, if you somehow manage to touch her in that certain magic way, she will yield up a sound which has so much soul, raw emotion and heartfelt depth to it that she will pierce you to the very core of your being. |
