I'm just confused how a perfectly smooth factory UV-cured finish is porous that's all, this isn't a cellular mambrane ion channel they are applying here, it's a hard protective layer.

Well...I guess if it's a clear coat acrylic like a car then get at it...
I guess if Taylor themselves say ONLY the type that doesn't leave a residue then it doesn't mean anything and there must be no pores.
Heck if they use UV to cure it why not leave it out in the direct sunlight so it can get MORE UV?
Suffice to say that 'perfectly smooth' to the naked eye is not without pores.

I henceforth drop out of this discussion. It has been the opinion of every guitar maker and player I've ever met to not use any wax or silicone on a guitar. Scientific proof-I have none. Opinion-everyone has one. I guess this is why one should contact the manufacturer and not ask an important question on a message board.
