Question polish for the gloss rainsong shortie?

probably been asked 1037 times, sorry.
ended up with a real neat GLOSS shortie with gloss neck rainsong 12 fret. whats the recommendation of any wax, polish to spiff her up?

i have virtuoso for my wood buddies-anyone use that on the body/neck. i'm assuming any of the clear spray liquid polish will do?

regular auto carnuba wax?

thanks
d

Best stuff, only spray a little on a micro fiber cloth and wipe guitar.

Look at the McNichols website they have a complete care kit for the gloss models. I have one and it works awesome

After a day on the lake or the beach I'll clean my Rainsongs with Windex to get the suntan lotion off than polish it up with a standard guitar polish like the ones sold by Martin and Gibson, these polishes sold for wood guitars work just fine for maintaining the luster on my gloss Rainsongs.

I bought my first Rainsong over ten years ago and I have never felt the finish required anything special, Rainsongs are definitely low maintenance guitars.

i would think a very small squirt of Lemon Pledge on a soft cotton would work brilliantly.

anyone used that?

I've been using Lemon Pledge on my wood guitars at home for years but the stuff can leave streaks on my Rainsongs. I'm guessing it leaves streaks on my wood guitars as well but it shows up more on the dark carbon.
