Hey guys i was just wandering what you all use when cleaning you rickenbackers, and in particular 360's.

Mine is starting to get a little grubby and needs a little one on one TLC

cheers,
Jon

Jon,

Welcome to the forum! Caution: it's an addictive place.

Head on over to Paul Wilczynski "Reflections of a Curmudgeon" site on the forum, do a search for Zymol and Scratch-X and you'll be polishing in no time!

Regards,

Rick

Indeed, you might catch RAS

Welcome Jonathan!

I ~~caress~~ wipe my 360 with the yellow cloth once per week. That way it stays nice longer... not forever, but it helps!

After a year or so of bar gigs, it's time to wash off the mud and the blood and the beer.I head over to the car wash and spray it off with the high pressure soap and the bubble brush, followed by a high pressure rinse, then the spot free low pressure rinse.
Then I mount it to the front bumper and do a few freeway miles to air dry it. Good as new and ready for the bars again.

Well that'll work on 6-strings, but don't try it with 12s...

The strings'll set up an awful racket on the freeway at anything over 80...

Is Zymol Z-503 Auto Polish okay for my Rics?

I just put mine in the shower for a good 10 minutes ,then on the front lawn for a couple of hours, usually does the trick.

What does the front lawn do? Seems to me you'd just get grass stains on it...

Hi all, I'm a newbie here. Had my 360 FG for a few months now and I have been looking out for a decent polish. I've read here that Zymol is the way to go, so is this the stuff?www.vertar.com/zymol/zymol-premium-rang ... eaner-wax/

or should I be looking out for a different type, only there seems to be quite a few different types of Zymol cleaner/wax/polish??

....cheers.

Yup. That's the stuff.

Now, do a search on this site, keyword "Zymol" to see how to use it.
