Anyone ever use their products on guitars?

I used carbrite's crystal shine on my black Ibanez before, just for giggles and to get a feel for a rotary. I haven't played in a while and it's been neglected, but a wheel brought it right back.
 
Hey Fallguy...a fellow drummer!!! :bounce



dmc...I've used a KAIO/H2O mix a couple times to wipe down my drums. It looks/works good, I think I notice most effect on my chrome hardware though.
 
i thought about applying iw845 to my saxophone but i think a layer of wax would affect the vibrations causing the sound to be different
 
I keep my gutiars waxed. I usually use Mother's Carnauba cleaner wax. When you buy Mother's Clay bar it comes with the small bottle of the cleaner wax and I keep that small bottle near the guitars. I dont polish my axes, but I do keep them waxed. I dont have a pic of any of them on this pc, but they look and feel nice (just like a car) when you're done.
 
Sorry to go slightly OT but, is there any exception as to what you can put on wood?



I ask because I want to wax some of my wood furniture and don't know if there are any issues in doing so.



I was thinking of somthing durable like 845, or 476...



Thanks!
 
I use the same product for polishing my guitars as every guitar factory in North America. The product is Menzerna.
 
I polish my watch with a dremel and metal polish.



People will ask me if my watch is fake and i ask why they ask and they say cuz the real ones aren't that shiny.



I've been wanting to polish my Gibson SG with something but am scared to.

Are you looking to remove scratchs or just make it shiny. To remove scratches, you should try Intensive Polish. It's safe for you nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Don't be scared.
 
I'm just trying to clean it and polish it a little. It's 30 some odd years old and i just don't know if i should mess with it. I'll try a little spot and wait a week then do the rest maybe.

IMO...a 30 year old SG is perfect just the way it is. Don't polish away all that "character". ;)
 
Well i used the klasse twins on some of my guitars latst night. I looked really good on all of them except my ibanez 7 string, didn't really look good on the black not sure why cuz it looked awesome on the black of my washburn. My guitars have some fine scratches on them, i guess very light swirls but guitar form, not really noticeable but i was thinking trying to polish one , Do you think OP would be good to try, should i use pc or try it by hand? i have Scratch X too and was thinking of trying that by hand first.
 
If I were going to polish, Id try something like ScratchX by hand. Then follow with a glaze + wax (#7 + S100), and some AIO on the rest, maybe KAIO. It's really personal preference, but I do like the wet depth a good wax gives to a guitars' wood.



But I wouldn't polish, honestly, as scratches and nics give a guitar character. Id just clean with an aio. In fact, my next project is a friends Les Paul, and thats gonna get ZAIO + RMG + S100.

It funny how scratches and dents on guitars adds character, but on your car the same condition would make it a beater!



There is a difference between a "reliced" guitar and a dirty guitar. I thought my buddy's Les Paul had gold plated hardware until he told me he never cleaned the smoke tar off of it in 20 years of playing.



Again, I'll stay with the polish brand that is used in all of the guitar factories when it comes to maintaining my instruments.
