Use Car Wax & Buffing Pads for Guitar Case Finish Stains!

Описание: In this video I’m going to show you an unconventional way to clean your guitar. The idea is you get car waxing / polishing foam attachments for your drill and then polish the guitar with car wax and compounding products. Yea I expect the hate to pile in from old traditionalists, so bring it on…

I know sounds kinda nuts, but you know what? It actually really works. WARNING: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! You need to understand what kind of guitar finish can stand up to this. Most older guitars and especially nitrocellulose finished instruments may get RUINED by doing this. So consider yourself forewarned.

On the other hand if you have a newer polyurethane (poly) finished guitar with a nice thick gloss coat on it, you should have little to worry about. Just use the softer polishing pads and if you’re worried, try it first on a spot of finish under the pickguard as a test.

I use this method specifically to remove some stubborn guitar case discoloration in this video but it also works really well on black guitars that have a lot of scuffing and hazing from years of use that won’t come off. It may not take it all off but it can definitely lighten the scuffs and make it look way better. And it’s cheap too. You can get a kit with 10 or 20 pads plus the drill adaptor for $10 to $20. Then get a good car wax product, like a Meguiar’s “light cut” or “swirl remover.”

Start with the softest foam pad and lightly spritz it with water before applying a few drops of the wax. Then start by slowly spreading the wax at slow drill RPMs around the area you are treating. Wipe off with a rag and check the finish. If it’s holding up well increase the RPMs if needed to remove the hazing, scuffing, stains, etc, you’re trying to remove. Good luck!
