"A favorite Polish for Electric Basses?

Sign in to disble this ad
I am currently using Dunlop 65. Is that as good as it gets? Or is there a better polish for about the same price? And... Why is another Better? Just want to know, thanks.

I always just used a little lemon oil everytime I change the strings. Never seemed necessary to pay more for any type of guitar specific polish.

A tiny bit of Murphy's Oil Soap very diluted in water will work wonders for cleaning, as will Virtuoso Premium Cleaner. For a polish, I use Virtuoso Premiem Polish. The Virtuoso stuff is more expensive, but I think it's more than worth it to get an instrument looking like it just came from the factory.

I have a bottle of Gibson USA Guitar polish that I bought in the 1990s and has lasted me over 10 years!!

It has been worth every penny - other household polishes run out quickly and cheap stuff is a false economy - invest wisely in good stuff and it can last you for ever!!
