Me a Player Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hey, I have an Ibanez guitar and I'm trying to make it look new so I can sell it and get a Les Paul. I saw on some other topics that people were using Windex to make it shine but, for some reason it won't work for me. Is there like anything that is made to make guitars shine if so, could you tell me the store/brand name. And possibly the price because I don't wanna spend $40.00 on something that might not even work. -Me A Player ( Gutitar Player That Is ) P.S. This is my first post and I'm not sure if it's in the right place but I am 99.99% sure that it is... -Me A Player ( Gutitar Player That Is ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes in a black bottle and can be found at most automotive stores I usually get it from o reily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syxxstring Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Im digging some stuff called System One right now. Pretty idiot proof and reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Sorbera Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I use a product called S100 "shine enhancing cleanser". The Harley dealers carry it. It has very fine abrasives in it that break down as you rub with it, so it's like your buffing out your finish by hand but but it's very gentle on the finish and wont scratch it like waxes will. I do it every 6 months or so on my guitars and it really makes them look wonderful. It's not cheap, at around $15 a bottle. Here is the link. It's the one on the left. Great stuff for sure.

It really gives you a super gloss !-Marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
