I supposed there is already a thread or two about this....and I don't normally tout products.....unless...I find something that I think is awesome....
Tammy came home with a kit by MusicNomad, called the Premium Guitar Care System....three bottles of stuff....I assumed she bought it for her beautiful guitars...but she suggested I clean my ukes with it (were they dirty???)
I had been feeling sorry for my old work uke, it was just sitting in the spare bedroom looking sad....so I dragged it out and loosened the strings (now it won't stay in tune, another issue).
I cleaned it all off with the ONE product, which sprays on...it looked better right away....well life got in the way, so it sat for a few days, then I tried the Guitar Polish on all but the fretboard....wow, it darkened the wood, and shined it up beautifully! It almost looks like a different uke! Then I used Lemon oil on the fretboard, which was so dry I'm surprised the frets hadn't popped out....and wow....I could swear the uke sounds better!
I can't wait to take it out on the boat tomorrow to play at a memorial service....
Anyway, if your uke is looking kinda sorry, don't go buy a new one right away....try this, or something like it, out first! A little elbow grease works wonders with the right product!
