A friend of mine who is an electric guitarist gave me a packet of "Dunlop System 65 Guitar Maintenance Kit". Inside are 5 bottles/sprays you can use to clean & conserve the surface and fretboard of your instrument.
While one of the detergents is only for steel strings (I'll try it on my RISA electric tenor), the others seem to be applicable for nylon-stringed ukes, too! One for example is for cleaning the fretboard (01 Fingerboard Cleaner & Prep), another for oiling it (02 Fingerboard Deep Conditioner).
Then there is "65 Guitar Polish & Cleaner" and "65 Cream of Carnauba". I wonder if I could use the "Cream of Carnauba" also for my fretboard? I've read somewhere that fretboards are oiled AND WAXED. Do you know anything about it?
I wonder what products YOU are using to care for your ukulele. Maybe there is even a special combination of products you would suggest?
I will try out the "Dunlop System 65 Kit" and let you know what I think about it in this thread. (I guess the bottles can also be purchased singly). Please share your experience with maintenance products here!!
I hope this thread is of any interest to you...
Take care and keep uke'ing, :rock:
