How to properly clean

Sign in to disble this ad
Not sure if this is the right place, but what should I use to clean my Thunderbird? I shouldn't use regular wood cleaner, (ie Pledge) should I?

I use the Dunlop 5 step cleaning kit, runs about 25 bucks online.

On occasion I will use an oil based wood cleaner on my fretboard.

A damp cloth. Think about it, mate. It's a poly finish, not some hand-rubbed oil fiasco.

I've been using a fairly new product for a year or so and really like it. It's called Mist & Wipe Finish Enhancer. Made by Fender in conjunction with Meguiar's. Meguiar's is a well known maker of auto polishes, waxes etc.

Also you can take some very fine 000 steel wool to the back of the neck... ONLY THE BACK OF THE NECK!
