FWIW: One of the woodworking links I found stated that nothing would replenish natural oils in the few exotic woods that actually have such oils. Can't support or refute this, though, as it's just one more piece of that highly reliable internet info.

But seriously, there is something missing from that equation, because it has an oily residue. Could be the parafin I suppose. Although the ingredients may be similiar, it is nothing like lighter fluid in reality.

When they describe it as aerosol, do they mean how it would be ingested? I've never seen Scott's as an aerosol.

Anyway, it has to be tried to be believed.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-68605 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-68555 Wed, 08 Sep 2004 05:21:02 +0000
Try it. Hmmm, looks as if this elixir is paraffin, naphtha and carbon dioxide:

Fancy lighter fluid.

I use lighter fluid on the body if it's really dirty. Then I wipe it with a chamois.

The neck I use Scott's and ultrafine steel wool 00000. You could also use a microfiber cloth if it isn't that dirty.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-68554 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-68544 Wed, 08 Sep 2004 03:40:04 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion ElPelotero https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-68544 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-67405 Wed, 01 Sep 2004 02:08:51 +0000

It costs a couple of bucks and one bottle seems to last forever. I've yet to make a dent in the bottle I bought and I've been using it for three years.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Musenfreund https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-67313 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-67306 Tue, 31 Aug 2004 17:22:03 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion kab https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/cleaning-fretboard/#post-67306
