Or should i re-frase...Let's say a decent Cleaning Service Method ?

Thanks Mike. I've also written an article on this exact subject for next months Muse Mag.

For general cleaning...an old tooth-brush, some cotton, a blush brush (hehe no i don't use them for anything else) and Mr. Min polisher (works like a charm) but that's just me

MiKeZilLA

Mr. Min polisher (works like a charm)

I take it that you are wearing fireproof underwear at the moment ?

Bane

Mr Min sucks, it totally sucks and people who use it are idiots, i am an idiot, the people who made it are idiots and the people who decided not to put ingredient-lists on it are idiots!!!!....oh...did i say that out loud? :-[ yeah i just read that above mentioned thread. Well Mr. Min is gone, all I have left now is JEYES fluid...that should work fine ?

Don't forget to add HTH!

Bane

FenderBender

Just gotta watch the sound tho as it tends to get a bit fizzy ?

The anarchist's cook book I presume Mr McVeigh ?

Bane

Now that is a book that should go in the Books and DVD's section!! hehe ?

I used Diamondguard a while back and it worked like a charm. Its the same thing that Glomail or Verimark sells as a car cleaning product. It protects against scratches and makes it shinny!

I dont know if it is chemically save for your paintjob on a long term use ?

Oh dear someone else in need of fireproof underwear. Mind you Wessel, Judging from the Verimark ad that I saw on TV you could just rub some of that Diamondguard on your butt before Alan gets here.

FenderBender

You okes are scaring me!

Good thing the Ratmeister is on his way to moderate things ?

He's coming thru the door! Look! He didn't even open it!

Wessel

? ☹ Ooops.

Im so dead. But it really made my guitar shinny ☹

FenderBender

The evidence is incontravertable! ?

Renesongs

* Rene chimes * Wake up Alan, wake up, there are people putting silicon oil on their guitars down here. Should I get the fire started for you sir ?

FenderBender

So you are the night owl type too then Mr A? ?
