This is probably common knowledge for many, but for those of us who play more often than we clean:
I just cleaned my ukes with lemon oil this morning, and what a difference! On the Black Bears, which are nitrocellulose, all the fingerprints are gone, and there's a noticeably deeper glow to the koa (which looks awesome -- prettiest wood eva, as we say in MA).
But on the Hamano, which is a satin finish, holy guacamole! The mahogany looks beautiful -- deep and reddish and slightly glowing like sunset clouds on a still sea.
20 minutes well spent!
