GuitarTek Gloss Max
Restore a deep, mirror-like shine on the guitars you care about most
Your guitar's finish does more than look good. It protects your instrument from the elements, and when it's properly cared for, it helps ensure your guitar will be around for decades to come.
But here's the problem…
Guitars use some of the most sophisticated—and delicate—finishes in the world, from hand-applied shellac and vintage lacquer to modern high-performance coatings. Yet many of the cleaners and polishes on the market were never designed for them.
Their formulations have been adapted from the automotive industry, often using harsh chemicals, silicone, petroleum, and other ingredients that don't belong anywhere near a fine instrument… or on your skin.
Gloss Max was built differently
Partnering with one of the world's leading chemists, we developed a maximum gloss polish designed specifically for guitar finishes. From French polish and vintage lacquer to today's high-performance finishes, Gloss Max delivers a deep, mirror-like shine without streaking, haze, or build up.
Just as important, we removed what didn't belong. No harsh chemicals. No silicone. No petroleum.
And because it matters, we went a step further. Gloss Max is dermatologically tested, so it's safe to use every time you reach for it.
Why players and pros love it:
- Restores a brilliant, wet-looking gloss in seconds, without streaks, haze, or build up
- Wipes on easily and buffs out fast—no heavy rubbing required
- Leaves your finish smooth, clear, and free of residue
Use it as part of your regular maintenance routine to keep your instrument looking—and feeling—its best.
