Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • A rag or some other cloth
  • Windex

Step1
Find you a clean sock, or rag, or anything. Just dont use a paper towel because that can leave little pieces of it all over your guitar.
Step2
Get some Windex, and I do not care what people may say, I have always used Windex and it works better than any guitar cleaner I have ever tried.
Step3
Try to spray a small amount all over the body, dont get none on the pickups or volume knobs, or pickup selector. Wipe it clean with the cloth. Notice the shine it should already have.
Step4
Next, take an old toothbrush, put just a little bit of windex on it, and wipe the pickups and under the strings (assuming that you did not take the strings off for this) Get all of your chrome pieces to, windex does not discriminate =)
Step5
If you do not have strings on, rub some mineral oil on the fretboard with a clean rag =) That will bring out a magical shine you never knew your fretboard could have.

Tips & Warnings

  • I know this sounds brutal to your guitar, but trust me, it works. I have done it for years and my guitar is still as glossy as it was the day I got it.
  • Like I said, dont get much windex on your pickups, use a very small amount. I have had alot on there before and it hasnt hurt it, but it still cant be too good for it. Cheers! Myspace.com/fallenshortrocks
