hey y'all ,
what polish do you use on your matte finish ESP 's ?
i have a viper finished in satin black and the vintage white eclipse - ESP's website FAQ says to use dunlop guitar polish , but i'm worried that i may "gloss" the matte finish by using this ?
anyone used this and ruined their finish ??
:confused:

Most people I know will just use warm water on a soft cloth. Don't soak it, just leave it damp.

Do as Pus suggests. No polish on satin guitars.

Does this apply to natural satin neck as well?
On my eclipse I just use a microfiber cloth (dry), works really good :)

I use dunlop polish on satin finish all the time... it works just fine. I think dunlop finish has a higher water content than most of the other polishes any way so it won't "sheen" up the satin finish.... it will work for the satin neck as well.

I use a microfiber cloth on my satin finish guitar. I wipe it down right after I am done playing. I havent used anything besides the microfiber cloth on the satin finish.

Yup, that's way. Dunlop #65 is the one to use.
