what should i use to polish my guitars? my bassplayer uses lemon pledge (he likes the smell) but i have read that you should not use furniture polish and there are so many different brands out there.
the prices vary, too.
would you use different polishes for acoustics or archtops than for for solidbody electrics?

What types of polish are you looking at? I would not use Pledge even though it smells good. It leaves a slippery residue. I use Martin Guitar polish. No silicone to make the guitar feel slippery. Is your guitar dull and are you looking to sort of "buff it up"?

Pledge can contain things like Silicone that are bad for guitar finishes. Silicone won't hurt the guitar, but it will prevent finish repair should you chip or crack the finish on your guitar; glue won't stick to silicone! You should use a polish that doesn't leave chemicals on your guitar.
We love the Dunlop Formula 65 polish. It takes off grime easily without leaving streaks, it smells good, and it's silicone free.
Good luck!

Hi Jason- Yeah silicone is NG for finish touch ups. Good point. Tell me more about your amps.
