Adam's Products on a Guitar

[WMUCarGuy]

So I am re-doing a guitar to match my car. Can any of you tell me if Adam's products (I was thinking things like Brilliant Glaze and Buttery Wax) will be safe to use on a guitar finish? Obviously it will never see many of the conditions a car does, but I want it to shine and stay shiny. Would it be advisable to use Adam's products on the guitar body?

All the polishes and 'gloss' products will work fine on you guitar.  You could even put a coating on it!  One of the top fret makers is also an importer of hi-level Germany detailing products!

I have used Glaze and buttery wax on one of my telecasters and it worked great

I've wondered the same... even to the point of polishing out some light scratches on a vintage Les Paul. Just never had the balls to give it a try. I assumed the finish was similar to that of a car but possibly lacquer instead of enamel?

 

More input would be appreciated. Thx

Car use to be painted with lacquer paint, it won't be a problem. If there is exposed wood I would avoid that area. Polish that guitar up.

How vintage is the Les Paul, if it's real old the scratches just add character and polishing out might lower its collector value. I know my TV yellow LP has really thin finish and I would be afraid to try and polish it with anything aggressive. The finish is more than likely lacquer, as most guitar companies used that years ago.

Bought it new: 1976 Gibson Les Paul Standard in red metallic (rare I'm told). I will post some pictures when I get home. The guitar is absolutely mint except for some very light scratching (probably from me wiping it down before I knew of microfiber). Since learning the "Adam's way", I wanted to polish it to make it perfect (of coarse) but never had the nerve.

 

I may first try my skills on a 1994 Fender Strat in the same near perfect condition to test the waters...lol

 

Thanks for the input.
