I used glass bowls/cups with the emulsifying wax, so when it came time to clean them, I simply used soap and hot water. For added assurance, I ran those items through the dishwasher. For items that are harder to wash, like blenders, I generally use a blender that is devoted for non-food use. Again, if you can put the glass part of the blender into the dishwasher, you should be safe. Once the emulsifying wax is mixed with oils and water, it isn't waxy at all and didn't leave a film or waxy substance when I used it. I was left with a lotion/cream, so clean up was a breeze.

like any wax you dont want to get it on any texture black plastic parts. If you do yo can use Goof Off to take it off and follow up with wiping 303 on it or some other protectant. The wax is long lasting but when taking it off you will get a good work out but the ending reults are nice and it will last.

They make a cleaner wax and a straight wax. I thinks this is the straight wax. It has no grit. I would think it is totally safe.

I keep a jar filled with mineral spirits and just spray it through the sprayer when I'm done painting. Probably overkill for latex paint but at least I'm sure there isn't any residue left. When I first got the critter I tried to be sure the whole thing was clean. Now I only ensure the tube, the tip and the hole in the lid are clear. GarryG is right about the cork gasket. I ended up getting some heavy duty gasket sheet from the auto parts store and made my own gaskets. They're not as fragile and I've always got a spare if I need it.

Seagull makes a nice case for is guitar. It is called a TRIC case. Looks like it is made of some form of styrofoam only tougher. Keeps the guitar a more constant temperature. I really like mine alot more than most hard cases. Fits tight, and you can knock it over and not worry as much about possible damage to the guitar. As for it sounding like a guitar that James Taylor plays I would say no. His guitars are custom built Olson guitars that cost thousands of dollars. That being said the S6 is a great sounding guitar that plays much better than most others in the price range. I cant think of a guitar in the price range or even somewhat higher that compares.

"Wiped on" is the only way I use Varathane now. I take a paper towel, dab it into the can, and carefully rub it onto the wood. I just did this with some repurposed cigar boxes the other night - came out beautiful. The finish seams to be a little more satiny than when you brush on the Varathane - the first project I did, I brushed on many coats and the pieces were a bit shiny. I prefer the wiped finish, it looks great on both of the Cigar Box Guitars that I've built and, as I mentioned, the two cigar boxes I just redid. You want to avoid putting on very thick layers, as well as leaving any gobs or lines of the finish, just like with anything else you're putting on wood. General rule of thumb with this stuff - if it looks white or creamy on the wood, it's too thick. Be careful sanding between layers, since the wiped on finish, for me, is often thinner than brushed on finish. Side note - The guitars only have Varathane on the neck. The wood for the necks came from an old dining room table, it's heavy and dense. The wood was stripped of finish, painted with a variety of colors and chemicals to reach a certain patina, and then I wiped on the Varathane. Came out beautiful, and the finish is holding up really well.

I don't feel there's much residue. It's finer and not gritty as the rosin I had used. Consequently, the sound quality is better = not so scratchy. I DO have expensive strings, so this may be a plus in sound quality.

No. Pure wax. For my money, the best wax out there (and way better/easier to use than their synthetic "Ultimate" polymer wax). Much easier to buff out.

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

whether or not it is okay on a satin finished guitar is not detailed or specified on the kits packaging or individual bottles themselves. I would contact the manufacturer in hopes they can provide you with accurate information. All my guitars have a shiny finish. Sorry. =/

Yes. It does not contain petroleum like a bug and ttar remover (which I prefer for this purpose). When you use a mechanical buffer with this compound, sap and bird will com off. In general,I've always found water and elbow greese the best way to remove bird droppings.

I used a mild soap and water solution followed by a light coat of teak oil. You could also use a good quality furniture oil. I happen to have a boat and so have teak oil at hand.

This may be due to the type of finish used on the guitar. Most guitars are finished using Polyurethane lacquer - it's hard, easy to apply, and can be applied in states and countries where regulation prohibits other types of finish such as nitrocellulose. It does not react with vinyl or rubber, and is found on guitars of all price levels. The same cannot be said of nitrocellulose (or the celluloid used in some vintage pickguards and picks), which is very reactive and care must be taken when choosing what products to use on instruments finished in nitro lacquer. This isn't a flaw in the product design or materials, but it may well prove worthwhile for potential buyers to check whether their instrument is finished in Nitrocellulose lacquer or Polyurethane and investigate products accordingly. If no finish type is stated on a new instrument, it is generally safe to assume polyurethane, in which case most products should present no risk.

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

It is a semi soft paste to be applied with a rag or oooo steel wool and wiped off with a soft towel. It is the best wax, cleaner, stain that I have ever used.
