GuitarTek Clean Axe
Restore a clean, like-new look on every surface of your guitar
Your guitar is made up of more than just a finish. Wood, metal, plastic—all with delicate coatings that come together to create an instrument that looks, feels, and performs its best.
Taking care of each of those surfaces isn't just about appearance—it helps protect your instrument and keep it playing the way it should for years to come.
But here's the problem…
Most guitar care products weren't built with that complexity in mind. Many are adapted from the automotive industry, using formulations that treat every surface the same—or worse, rely on ingredients that don't belong anywhere near a fine instrument.
And that's where things start to break down.
One product leaves streaks on gloss. Another makes matte finishes splotchy. Hardware looks and feels greasy. Plastics get cloudy. You end up switching between products or settling for results that never quite look right.
Clean Axe was built differently
We set out to create a true, safe, all-in-one guitar cleaner—one you can confidently trust on every part of your instrument.
Working with a world-class chemist, we developed a formulation specifically for guitars and the wide range of materials they're made from. From delicate finishes like French polish and vintage lacquer, to satin, matte, and oil finishes, to plastics and metal parts—Clean Axe makes everything sparkle without streaking, dulling, or leaving residue behind.
And just as important, we removed what didn't belong. No harsh chemicals. No silicone. No petroleum.
And because it matters, Clean Axe is dermatologically tested so it's safe for YOU too.
Why players and pros love it:
- Cleans every surface of your guitar, gloss, satin, matte, and more without streaks, haze, or dulling the finish
- Safely removes grime from hardware and plastics, restoring a bright, clean look across the entire instrument
- Wipes on easily and lifts dirt fast—no heavy scrubbing required
- Leaves surfaces clean, clear, and free of residue
- One product you can confidently trust on every part of your guitar
Use it as part of your regular maintenance routine to keep your instrument looking—and feeling—its best.

How to use
Apply directly to a clean cloth and wipe onto the surface. For heavier grime, allow the cleaner to sit briefly before wiping. Flip the cloth over and buff with the dry side of the cloth to reveal your guitar's natural, bright, clean surfaces.
