My general procedure is as follows:
- Remove strings.
- Apply a small amount of “Dr Ice Vintage .76” with a clean cloth and use an old cloth to clean off all the finger grease etc. If necessary polish the frets and “exfoliate” the fingerboard using “Dr Ice Vintage .76″ and #0000 wire wool.
- Use an old cloth to remove any excess wire wool bits (don’t let them get on the pickups) and excess “Dr Ice Vintage .76″. Apply a new coating of “Vintage .76”, leave to soak in (sometimes this is overnight with really dry necks! More often though it’s a matter of leaving if for 2 – 10 mins to soak.)
- Use “Axe Blast” to clean the body of the guitar. Use the microfibre cloth to buff to a shine.
- I use Axe Blast and the “Chamois” for metalwork cleaning (pickups, control plates, chrome tuners etc)
- Lube the bridge screws and any other moving parts with “3 in1″ oil.
- Polish the neck with the Microfibre cloth – the “Dr Ice Vintage .76″ should have soaked in by now!
- Using a dampened foam pad in the “Dr Ice Axe Wax”, apply a coating over all the paintwork. Leave it for a few minutes.
- Buff to a shine with the microfibre cloth.
- Use the Chamois without the other products to clean in between times. It’s structure alone will remove most marks. If anythings being stubborn add a little Axe Blast, and buff away!!
I hope that helps. – See the “In Use” Blog for more specific information!

Hi posh guitars,is the gerlitz no 1 back in stock please?
Unfortunately, there will be no more Gerlitz supply to the UK. However, I can highly recommend the Axe Wax range which will be live soon. I hope this helps.
