Anybody ever use this stuff? I saw it advertised on a guitar site - www.21frets.com
Also, a luthier in Nashville has it for $10 a bottle which includes shipping. He had nothing but good things to say about it - but I've never heard of it. www.blomguitars.com

Rick sez Turtle Wax 123. Green bottle. $7.00.

I prefer Zymol. Blue bottle, $15.00

Let's mix the two, water it down 50%, call it "Bleu Cheese for Ricks", charge $20.00, and retire!!!

Anybody in?

Paul, I know you have espoused the use of Zymol before and where it should be available for purchase. And I believe you gave a method for application...none of which I can find or I got lazy and quit looking. Can you run it by again?
Thanks.

Paul - when will you learn that "what marketing wants, marketing gets".

Also - never let the guitar player be in charge of the mix down...

"Ahhh, how savvy going for that anti-marketing demographic."
(God I miss Bill Hicks)

Also - Never let the drummer operate ANYTHING that plugs into the wall.

Marketing is an easy target (broad side of the barn) - can anyone blame me??

Good advice on the drummer - that's where I went wrong...

Zymol's good for drums, too. And the bottle is just the right shape--full or empty--to plug that Marketing Guy's, er.....um....mouth.

It's blue in color (light blue). Available in auto stores like Kragen, Pep Boys, etc. $15.00 as I said.

Water soluble, so's you can build coats and really get that wet gloss. Made from coconut oil and all kinds of exotic natural stuff, so during the winter the scent reminds you of Hawaiian Tropics bikini contests. And, NO SILICONES or petroleum distillates.

So here's an especially HOT tip for that Jetglo rick you've got that's looking all scratchy and hazy and dingy...

While you're at the Auto Parts store in the wax section, pick up a tube of Meguiar's SCRATCH-X (black plastic tube, about $7.00). Also get some nice turkish cotton towels or find a clean cloth diaper. NO SYNTHETICS or cotton-poly blends--synthetics scratch! If you're a grunge musician, tear up one of those old lumberjack shirts. But if you're a grungemeister, whaddya doin' polishing yer guitar, anyway?

Working in small areas on the guitar, place a small drop of SCRATCH-X on the paint and begin rubbing with the cotton cloth. Keep on rubbing, adding a bit of SCRATCH-X at a time. Carefully work over the whole guitar. You will see the Jetglo paint come alive once more. (Of course, it works on any color, but on black it's incredible what it'll do!) Then you MUST protect it with at least two separate applications of Zymol. The Cleaner Wax in the blue plastic bottle is the ticket.

Hey Michael,
I did marketing for a major record label for 10 years. How unabashedly evil! And my reward for shilling their sub par wares for a decade of my life?
Getting laid off.

Somebody find me a job!

See, they'll turn on their own in a second.
