Some waxes also contain a fine abrasive that actually removes a minute amount of the finish that can also have a detrimental effect over the years.I only use polishes made expressly for guitars that way I'm assured I'll have no regrets.

Well then you could always pass it off as a Road worn right?? :lol:
The only kind i use is a spray(for guitars), but I always wondered about using car wax as well.....I can tell you on MY Highway one, i bought it and noticed some pick scrapes on the body(quite ugly) and I used a cheap 2 dollar polishing compound(the paste type) and it worked great, with 0 scratching/etching marks( f o l l o w directions on the can)
to answer OP I think it wouldnt hurt it, however, guitar spay is about as much (cost wise)and less messy, so i use spray...

Guitar bodies are not finished with automotive paint so why would anyone consider polishing one with car wax?


Carnuba paste wax was first developed and used on wood finishes. :D

Since the Fender Care Kit was made by Meguiars (who made their name with car care products) I'd say there's no problem using carnuba on a Highway 1. Every rumor I've ever seen on the subject says it was the same stuff.

I have the Fender Care Kit and it works well. I haven't noticed any adverse effects. It is what I use on all my guitars. :D
