Guitar Polish

8/31/1999 9:28 AM
Dirty	Guitar Polish I have been an avid user of Pledge and have been very happy with the results(guitar finish, strings, pickgiards, metal, rosewood) but it has recently come to my attention that it contains silicon that would totally mess up a refin. Bad news for my Gibson with a cracked headstock that I will eventually have repaired. What do you guys use? I might buy some of that Meuialars #2 and #7 to restore the finish on a sixties strat. Stew Mac reccomends this. How about Trick or that new Dunlop Formula something. I've also noticed the finish on a couple of my oldies has gotten soft, I can scrape it with my fingernail, any way to harden it up? and do you think the Pledge was responsible? Thanks for any insights...Dirty
