Oh gosh...I just got back from one of my favourite local guitar stores.

They have a Taylor with some amazing fretboard inlays, soundboard inlays, and a wonderful rosette. The fretboard inlays are two whales intertwining, the soundboard one is a three-mast ship, and the rosette is a rope with nautical knots.

Sure, it looks good...but just pick the thing up. Only one word can describe it: Auralgasm.

I admire your Taylor very much, John_Wayne. Very much. I've always been impressed with Taylors, more so than I have with Martins (never been fond of the M's).

If you look at the first chapter of Dan Erlewine's book "Guitar Player Repair Guide", he actually recommends #7 Show Car Glaze for cleaning guitar finishes!

I use it all the time on my Les Paul and Ibanez RG550, though for my Seagull and Art and Lutherie acoustics I just use a damp cloth.

He's correct, but it's not that #7 is a "Cleaner", it's just that it will have a cleaning effect when rubbed over any painted surface with some type of application material.

Same thing will happen with car paint.

Many times people make recommendations for the use of a Meguair's product that will get the job done but there actually will be a better or more specific product for the job but the author doesn't know everything about the Meguair's line so the just go with what they know.

Can't tell you how many times we've heard of people recommending #7 Show Car Glaze for use as a replacement for a rubbing compound, probably because DuPont sold a compound for years called #7
