Cleaning Acoustics?

meltedbuzzbox

Hello all, 

Is there a recommended cleaning product for cleaning the body of an acoustic (in this instance a martin, not sure if the finish is different on these/nitro?)?

Cheers

Or more likely put a label on a bottle of polish and bump the price. :-)

to be fair to Martin on their video they say you dont have to use anything.
They do plug their own spray but also reference a few other third party products.

A slightly damp rag is your best bet - unless it’s really dirty. I very occasionally use a little Martin polish - probably less than once a year.

I use a damp rag then some furniture wax, on a poly finish that is. But then I only clean mine once in a blue moon.

I use Dr Duck's Ax Wax on every guitar regardless of type/finish.

Lighter fuel on a cloth is used by a lot of people, cheap as well.
