HELP......I Want to Clean Up My 4003DCM

[sloop_john_b]

What is the best way to clean the fretboard?

Since the fretboard is also CV, I would think that Zymol would be fine on it as well?

[rickenbrother]

If you use Zymol on the fingerboard, it will clean and shine up the frets also. It will just take a little extra work to remove it all from around the bottoms of the frets.

Thanks. The only thing I need to do now is to find Scratch-X and Zymol in my own country(Holland).

Is there an online shop who sells this stuff?
My 4001 '78 really needs a clean up..

I searched for the both of them a while back (Holland). Maybe someone knows of good alternatives?

Both Zymol and Scratch-X have worldwide distribution. If there was an alternative, I would have suggested it years ago, and if anyone has found one for either product, please enlighten us!

For Scratch-X: http://www.meguiars.nl/

For Zymol: http://zymol.co.uk/shop/page.asp?id=45

I get a nice wet look and scratch removal from 3M one-step finish restorer . I've used it on all of my basses including my FG 4004Cii and FG V63.

What is the best way to clean the fretboard?

I got a spray at a music store that I use to clean the strings a fretboard. I lightly spray it onto the cloth first then wipe down the strings and fretboard, works like a charm! I give my basses a proper wipe-down after every use.

[rickenbrother]

I should have added to my previous post that I wouldn't use Zymol on unfinished fingerboards like many Cii basses have.

[jingle_jangle]

A very good point, Joey...unfinished boards do very well with Dr. Stringfellow's Lem-Oil, though. I use it on my Gretsches and my 2 C58s to keep those open-pored boards fresh and grime-free.

[rickenbrother]

I keep forgetting to pickup some of that Dr. Stringfellow's Lem-Oil. The one time I remembered to get it, the GC I was at had none in stock!

I use an old soft toothbrush around the frets.

An old electric toothbrush with Maas, cleans tarnished nickel tuners very well too...

Is the fingerboard of a v63 unfinished?

[rickenbrother]

A V63 should have the CV finish on the fingerboard.
