Was it Scratch-X?

Zymol is correct.

Zymol is a wax and I doubt it's going to remove the yellow.

Right. Wasn't there something Paul W. suggested, Swirl-Something-or-other?

I still think it's Scratch-X, but I could be wrong.

IIRC, Paul W said that Scratch-X formula had changed, and the new formula was too abrasive for guitar finishes. He changed his recommendation to Swirl-X and Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor. I think Swirl-X was discontinued or changed formula, so go with Scratch Doctor. Zymol is still the go-to wax.

Not to go squirrel on everyone, but I've been in and out for the last few years. Is Paul W. still around?

He made a big splash about being back then went back into his hole, apparently. :|

Last time I spoke with him, he had helped me out with a special pickguard a couple of years ago. I've heard from others who still frequent Facebook that he said he would not be posting there anymore and to contact him through his website but the email link doesn't seem to work. At least not for me.

How about a suspenseful movie screenplay that will end up as a best selling mystery novel due to how much my movie will cost to make? :mrgreen:
