Dr. Duck's = Outstanding!
Cleans and lubricates anything on a guitar/bass. Not greasy, oily or waxy it leaves no residue once you buff it sufficiently.<br />Purchased to treat several very dry rosewood fingerboards it is the best I have ever tried and is the only fingerboard treatment that seems to last.  Use only a small amount and rub it in thoroughly, then wait 5 - 10 minutes and buff off any excess with a clean, soft, dry cloth.  It will clean a moderately dirty fingerboard, but if yours is really gunky you should probably clean it first with a suitable gentle cleaner, then treat it with Dr. Duck's Ax Wax.<br />After I rejuvenated my fingerboards I decided to try it on other parts. A natural finish on a Peavey Grind 5-string had become uneven and splotchy-looking so I tested a tiny bit of Dr. Duck's on it and was amazed to see that it restored even, rich coloring and gave it an even, subtle sheen over the entire body, neck and headstock.  It looked far better than it did the day I purchased it.<br />Inspired by it's performance I then attacked an older very used and worn Ibanez that has a battered black poly finish.  A lot of hard use has left it with loads of spider-web like scratches and a dull haze of fingerprints and dirt and who knows what had accumulated.  It was a beater that I didn't spend any time maintaining.  Once again Dr. Duck's was amazing.  It cleaned the finish without having to use any polish or other compounds.  I loved the way it made the instrument look because it left the signs of use yet it gave a deep rich look to the finish and it now resists fingerprints much better.  The rosewood fingerboard on this Ibanez now looks beautiful.  It looks so good now that I am considering upgrading the pickups and tuners on it!
