Agreed. Cloudiness is not an inherent characteristic of a gloss finish. Some finish types do deteriorate over time (nitro lacquer) and others can last indefinitely (shellac) - neither are a byproduct of the sheen of the finish. Nitro often gets cloudy where the forearm hits the soundboard due to sweat - some individuals have perspiration that damages the nitro and others don't.
