Re: Cleaning guitars?
On acoustic guitars I simply use the Ernie Ball guitar polish. Sold with a cloth. Works fine.

Re: Cleaning guitars?
I don't know about guitars, but some of my family members play violin and viola. From what I have read, some people that play these instruments insist that nothing be used except for a microfiber cloth. You might consider what are you trying to protect your instrument from?

Re: Cleaning guitars?
I tend to do more dusting than cleaning per se. I just use a nice soft chamois cloth on the body of the guitar. I have come to like using GHS Fast Fret for string cleaning and general fretboard maintenance.

+1 for Dr Ducks Ax Wax - for pretty much all the guitar.lilith wrote:For the fretboard I use Dr Ducks Ax Wax.
For the strings, I'm overusing this:
