There are two products that work well for this. The first is called Brillianize. It comes in a pump bottle and you can get it at plastics suppliers who sell plexiglas. The second, available at most auto stores, is Meguiar's Quik Detailer spray. These help the JG to shed fingerprints. Spray on, then wipe off with a SOFT cotton cloth.

Wow, Steve, you are psychic. Any stock tips?

No, I did a search and found an old post where you mention this. Can you just use the Ric polishing cloth with the spray ?

Which one works better on spilled PBR? (not tryin' t'be cute...I really want to know)

That's Pabst Blue Ribbon, for all you beer snobs...it's what we working musicians frequently get 'compensated' with...

Hee-hee, Here I thought you were asking how to get peanut butter off of your Ric!

Back to the original topic; you can never have too many Rics (or can you?).... I dread the thought of having to sell one or two to get my BBR.... Each one has a different sound and feel, and they are all sweet guitars.

Howard, I will agree to leave the 'peanut butter off your Ric' line alone if (and only if) you will as well...

Yours in Taste,

Melissa, perhaps you are a beer 'conoisseur' (conoisseuse?)...that doesn't necessarily imply snobbery, in my book...I usually prefer the beer in front of me to any other I might be able to imagine at that moment...

The Meguiar's has a pleasant strawberry smell, to cover over the beer 'n' vomit.

Thanks, man...I knew you would have the cure...I haven't vomitted on my own 'gear' in years, but there's always the crowd to contend with...

Ummmm.... I think you guys have already had a little too much beer? I shouldn't have said anything....

While you guys are all barfing all over each other's guitars, I ordered the 360 JG. Will be here Friday :-) Life is too short not to have dreams ...

Congrats, Steve! You will love your new Ric, and I'm sure you will find that it won't diminish your fondness for the 330 at all.... It's like having a couple of different flavors of fine chocolate--they're both sweet, just different!

Congratulations Steve. When will you be ordering the sticker?

Well done, Steve. If nothing else you'll be able to admire them both while you scratch your head wondering which one to actually pick up and play!!
