Preservation Polish


Read 28 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Ordinary guitar polishes shine by leaving a long-lasting silicone residue that's very hard to remove. If your guitar ever needs a repair, the silicone will prevent glue or finish from adhering, making even simple repairs more difficult and costly.

Preservation Polish gently cleans, polishes and protects lacquer and varnish finishes, with no wax or silicone residues. 12-ounce bottle.

Simply apply Preservation Polish with a clean cotton cloth. It leaves no wax or silicone residues, so there's no cloudy film, stickiness or build-up. And it won't discolor the patina of vintage finishes.

Luthiers and repair shops: You've learned the hard way that guitars and silicone are bad company. Silicone residue makes it difficult for glue or finish to adhere properly and is a primary cause of "fisheyes" and cratering in lacquer finishes. It's even worse if silicone reaches bare wood or gets into the cracks of older finishes. Even the simplest finish repairs can become more difficult, time-consuming and costly. Do your colleagues a favor — use Preservation Polish and recommend it to your customers!

Finishing Touch

Preservation Polish is always the finishing touch for guitars leaving my shop. It makes my new ones and the old ones always look great when the customer comes to pick them up.

Preservation Polish is Great!

I've been using Preservation Polish for several years now, on all my guitars, and I love what it does to their finishes. It cleans, shines, and leaves a nice feeling surface. It's all you need!

Amazing Stuff

Here's the only cleaner you'll ever want to use for all your guitar finishes. Just dab a little on a soft cloth, wipe over a small area, let stand for a few minutes & then wipe away years of sweat, oil & all those inferior waxes you've been using before you got your hands on this stuff.
Only problem is, I don't know what I'm going to do with all the rest of the polishes I have!

Great stuff!

Cleans and protects. It brings the shine back to dull dry finishes. This polish is safe on everything, I have used it on shellac, poly, and nitro. Great results! If it had a slight fragrance that would be better, my clients like the shine but not the petroleum smell. It does not bother me.

Great polish !!!

This polish works very well on nitro finishes and leaves no residue. Cleans very well without smearing. Leaves a beautiful shine.

Homerun!

I've been using this polish for over a year and get utterly fantastic results each time. I use it regularly on all of my lacquer finished electrics. Aside from the remarkable shine, you can FEEL the difference when compared to major brand name polishes. There's zero residue left behind. Bravo Stew Mac, bravo.

excellent product

Purchased this item to clean up some of my guitars that I was going to use for an upcoming gig on guitars that hadn't been cleaned properly for a while, a PRS, Gibson LP and a Fender Strat. The PRS was a poly finish, the LP and Strat both nitro finish. All 3 came out looking great.

I've used other cleaners and polishes before on these same guitars and while the smell of the Preservation Polish may not have been as nice as the others, it was by far the best cleaner/polish I've ever used. Highly recommended.

preservation polish

We've been using this polish for about a month now, and we are very pleased with it's performance. For a shop that does any finishing it's a godsend as it contains no silicone. A little goes a long way and it doesn't require a ton of elbow grease to attain a great shine.
