Sorry mate didn't mean to offend, I was only taking the p1ss and knew what you meant it was just the obvious joke.....having ridden for 30+years it's just an ongoing joke about Harleys (and even Ducati's in a differnt sense) but essentially we all ride for a similar reason so I have no problems with them or their riders really. Many of my mates own them and cop a bit of curry from the sportsbike crew but they give as good as they get I do think what they cost to buy is a bit crazy considering they're still stuck in the 60/70s with their technology.....anyhow please accept my apology

Then again, many might say there's no place in rock music for people past 30 either...so to each their own.

But as for the OP, the only cleaning products I've ever used on guitars have been Gibson fretboard oil for rosewoods - bought a small bottle in '92 and it's still more than half full - and I have sometimes used Johnson Pled furniture polish spray to lightly sweep them if I've put them on sale.

But as a rule, I never clean my guitars except the neck/fretboard, or worry about their battle scars...they're just cool and make the guitar look real and well used and loved.
I disagree, much like music, it doesn't matter when you start. Yes if you were trying to be a 'power ranger' it might look a bit silly, just like seeing some 50+yr old guy playing death metal or something equally horrid. (each to their own of course sheesh I don't want to OFFEND anyone here!!) The only thing that concerns me about your post is that you've never ridden but you have a bike licence!? Here in Oz, no matter what the age and how much car driving experience you have you must apply and sit a special course. This is so the born agains (50+yr olds, USED to ride but haven't in 20+years but have kept their riders licence) don't go and buy the 1000cc sportsbike, which is a WHOLE lot more powerful than the 1200 they had back in the day and then they go crash and burn.....it USED to be you could just ask them for a bike licence but the law makers changed that some 10 years ago.

Anyhow, there are Touring bikes, motards and dirt bikes I think suit any one of any age......riding is listed as one of the five things you should do before you die and I've not known of many ppl having a go and not being 'bitten by the bug' it is very addictive. My old man now 60 still rides both dirt and road and who cares what ppl think!

Onto music stuff since that's why I am here reading and not on my own forums > +1 for Meguiars gear. I use this on my bikes and cars and it's the ONLY stuff I'd use. Hadn't thought of using the quick detailer on a guitar and much like you I think a guitar that has some 'war' wounds doesn't matter just shows you use it and I'm more concerned that using some cleaning product could end up ruining something more than a slight surface scratch........

Has anyone actually used the Meguiars stuff on their guitar yet?
