You are so right. I've used alot of auto waxes on my cars throughout the years and none of them smell this nice. It was also really easy to use. Just rub it in and that's it. It was nice not to have to "beat the clock" and end up with a sore arm. I don't know why everyone doesn't use this stuff. From now on, whenever I see a dull looking Ric for sale, I'll wonder why. Now, while I didn't get a deal of the century deal on this Ric, it was better that alot,but if the seller had taken the time to shine her up, He seriously would have gotten more. Having that nice smoth surface really makes the neck feel great as well! Kudos to whoever first thought to use this stuff!!

Chris, that FG cleaned up really nice. I love the inlays in the middle picture - looks just like the ones on my 2004. What year is your FG?

I can +1 the acoustic-like tone after recording a practice the other night. (1976 4001FL)
