Guitar Cleaning: Get Rid of Finish Haze - Naptha, Rubbing Compound, Scratch Remover, Polish

DISCLAIMER: Always be careful when using any new cleaner on your guitar. Start with a small, less visible area and be gentle. If the guitar is vintage or you know it has a thin nitro finish, consider not using any cleaning products.

In this video I try a lot of different cleaners to get rid of haze, but most likely the correct order would have been to start with Naptha/lighter fluid if you have it. That will get rid of dirt and oils. Then try a water based cleaner like a basic Dunlop spray cleaner, etc. If you still have finish haze move on to a gentle abrasive cleaner, such as the Virtuoso I used, or a mild car rubbing compound. And most people should apply the compound by hand as opposed to the rotary drill with pad like I did here. You don't want to burn through your finish!

AGAIN, do these steps only if you are confident your finish is intact can take it. If you see thin spots in the finish or even bare wood, you don't want to use these cleaners. If it's an older guitar from the 50s or 60, probably best to just give it a gentle spit shine and let it be. cheers!
