:shock: Just noticed after cleaning My Tele that the cleaner contains lacqure! Unless your guitar is finished in a lacker or a poly finish this stuff Gibson, World's Finest Pump Polish Will eventualy destroy your finish. unuless your finish is baked on the LACQURE will emulsify most enamel finishes. Be carefull all you guys that custom finish your guitars. :shock: :roll: :)

The Gibson stuff works fine on my Les Paul.
I use the Martin stuff on my Mustang.

It will?? Sweet!! Hahaha.

If this is the stuff in the orange pump bottle, I've been using this stuff for the past 10+ years on all of my guitars and haven't noticed any problems.

Smells nice too.

I use Martin pump polish on all my guitars. Gives a good appearance to any finish and has never hurt one of my guitars at all.

In my opinion, the most important thing, with ANY guitar polish, is to use it sparingly and to spray it on a cleaning cloth, not the instrument. Because most of the polishes are pump bottles nowadays, if you spray it directly on the instrument the pumping action will cause it to be applied unevenly and it's easy to glob way too much onto the finish. You just want a thin coat and spraying the cloth, then wiping it on the instrument will insure that. Buff it with a second clean cloth and you're done!
