Microfiber Cloths: You are Never Too Old to Learn
People are constantly asking me, what should I do to polish and clean my guitar. I used to just say "Use a little lemon oil on the fingerboard and polish the finish with a clear non abrasive polish. Oh yeah, and make sure you use a clean dry polishing cloth.
Recently I instituted a new policy in the store. I told all the salesman that they had to carry a polishing cloths in their back pocket. This was supposed to ensure that all guitars were polished directly after anyone touched or played a guitar. This was part of my master plan to keep all the guitars in the store pristine looking.
Naturally, I had to carry a cloth myself. I had to polish the guitars the same as everyone else. Because of this I made an amazing discovery.
I happened to be polishing a black Heritage guitar about 1 week into the new policy. I noticed that the polishing cloth was putting small minor scratches in the lacquer finish. So I went to the showcase, I got a brand new Fender polishing cloth and tried that. I was surprised to see that the brand new, virgin, right out of the plastic Fender polishing cloth still left tiny scratches.
Being the Anal Retentive A$$hole that I know I can be, I decided to spend a little time researching cloth material to polish guitars with. I got on the internet and searched high and low for something that would be soft and durable enough to do the trick. My search led me to the Microfiber material that you will see below.
I am highly recommending this material as the absolute best cloth I have ever seen for polishing guitars with. I had to buy several thousand of them to be able to get a price low enough so that a guitar player would spend the money to buy one.
