I've got a couple of Classicals. Anyone with recommendations for a good string cleaner and body polish?

I don't know about string cleaners - I just change them.

I use Yamaha polish, but any product specifically made for guitars is probably OK.

Just be careful to never use furniture or car polish! These products often contain silicone, which is just about impossible to get rid of. Once that stuff contaminates a guitar shop, it can spread to every guitar that gets worked on, and it will ruin any attempt at applying new finish.

I changed my strings recently so I'm not concerned about that - I was thinking more about the finger prints on the face of the guitar and what polish to use for that. They do have string cleaners to wipe the oils from your fingers off and preserve the strings but I have yet to use it.

I wipe mine off with my sleeve...
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

Dude, it has to be Rosignolo polish.

They sell them in care kits with three polishes/cleaners/glosses...Rosignolo is awesome, but expensive...Twenty quid a time...worth every penny tho

I suggest >this< might be more realistic. :rolleyes:

And I have dealt with Music 123 often enough that I'm comfortable recommending them.
