hi sam, lemon oil is the way to go. scott Also music nomad guitar polish works well for the rest of the guitar.

Hey Sam, although I am not specifically qualified to give you a definite yes or no answer to this question, I will state my opinion. After using these products extensively for a few years, I personally would not recommend using the polish on your fret board. I do highly recommend the Dunlop 65 'Lemon Oil' for your fret board though. I use the polish on my guitar body, neck and headstock. It shines up beautiful and after a few fingerprints and smudges you can just wipe it clean again with a cloth and it shines right back up like new. I use the lemon oil on the fretboard (and the bridge, just to make it shine). The lemon oil keeps the fretboard wood nicely moisturized and slick for all your needs.

Yes. Even though the fret board isn't sealed, if used sparingly the wood will absorb the polish and prevent the surface from drying out.

Yes. I have used Flitz on copper, as well as many other ferrous and non ferrous metals and it will bring them to a mirror polish easily. However, if the corrosion (green powdery residue on copper) is heavy, you may want to use some fine steel wool to remove the bulk of it first.

I don't have a direct answer for stainless steel. I've used it on brass. It might clean brass if you went through several cycles of applying it and buffing it. It is really brasso in paste form. It is a polish designed to polish and not really to clean. It does a good job of polishing. I haven't used or looked for a stainless steel cleaner and so can't offer info on a stainless steel cleaner. I have found a good brass and chrome cleaner which is Zims Cymbal and Hardware Cleaner - just used it today (9/21/2013) on 2 cymbals.

I do, and cure it. Makes regular polish stay shiny and last longer. You just can not remove it with acetone. Must be buffed off.

I'm not the mfr., but it's a very mild cleaner, so I can't see why not. If you've got areas where the finish is missing, I suppose it could darken those areas. Honestly, for a maple fretboard, I usually just use a damp rag.

Absolutely! I love this stuff so much I just sent it to my daughter today--don't tell her, it's a surprise! But seriously, I use it on all my instruments, acoustic and electric and there is something in there for everything. All the best, George

Yes, but rough up the brass slightly first with a scotch brite. The patina will work much faster that way. After neutralizing in a water + baking soda bath, rub lightly with baking soda on your finger to get that antiqued look and brighten up the high spots for interesting texture. Check You Tube for some great video how-tos.

pre-polish is used to "clean" the abrasive off. the longer you tumble with each media the brighter the rock at the end. you can experiment with different amounts of time and you can always put the rock through the process again!

I would never chance it. There are silver polishes that work like a charm. I only use this on my copper.

Hey dude. Not really. The fretboard treatments are for rosewood only. Mind you, I find that the orange polish/cleaner is great for removing grime from maple without gunking it up.

Lemon oil. Do NOT use on unfinished maple fretboards. Other than that, it's a trade secret.

It works great with regular polish. Just remove it with nail polish remover like you would regular nail polish

I'm not really sure, but it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, you may want to try silver polish.

I don't use polish, I use bona laminate/hard wood spray cleaner or you can use an off brand for cleaning. If you really mean a "polish" I don't see why you couldn't. The pads are washable after use. Really a great product!

Yes, it should be fine for classical guitars as well. The description mentions using it on rosewood, ebony and maple fretboards. And although I don't think it would hurt them I believe the grain on ebony and maple are so tight that there would be minimal affect and penetration into the wood using this oil. I will say that I do use this on my Gibson Les Paul with a baked maple fretboard, slightly different than your typical maple fretboard, and it works fine and has caused no issues.

This is a treatment for the fretboard, not the strings. There are other solutions available for cleaning and lubricating your strings.

I don't let it touch the strings ... Only clean the fretboard when the strings are off
