Polishing?

[David Hartley]

What do you clean your aluminium necks and legs and pedal bar with without taking your fretboard and pedal bar decals off?

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

David I use solvo autosol ally cleaner don't take anything off that I don't have to just work carefully around it replace any stick ons as needed....

I do the same as I do for my regular guitars…masking tape. Merry Christmas David

I found Autosol a tiny bit course, so changed to Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish it's great stuff!
You might also try ALUBELGOM which is a bit expensive, but once you have polished with it, it leaves an un-seen coating of something behind that keeps it very shiny for months
Happy Christmas !

Mothers is great for aluminium. Been using it for donkeys years. The Yanks swear by it and it isn't as grainy as autosol. A tub of Mothers lasts for ages as you don't need a lot of it.

Thanks all.

I’m getting some mothers…
I’ve never cleaned the Rains but it deserves a spruce up.
No gigs in 2022 yet but I will get it shiny and oiled up ready with new strings, which never break, for this year.
Happy new year everyone..

I’ll be up for a Yorkshire meet up if it doesn’t fall on my working weekend.
