Maintaining the Breeds One Ax at a Time
To start out using Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube properly, keep in mind that lTo> S VERY CONCENTRATED: a little goes a long way, less is more with Dr. Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube - if you try and "gob" it on, you will not like it - if you follow the directions below, you'll love it !! ;
For spreading the polish on the instrument and for a buffing rag, ALWAYS USE A 100% COTTON CLOTH, the synthetics will all scratch your finish !!
Directions for Cleaning/Polishing:
1)- Use a few drops (very little) on a cotton cloth or put directly on the instrument.
2)- Spread as far as you can, - rub it in - using your fingers or a small piece of cotton fabric (so you can get the feeI of just how far this product does go).
3)- Let it set a few minutes.
4)- Using a piece of 100% cotton fabric, buff it out for full luster (if it feels a little o> greasyo> you 're not done buffing)
5)- Repeat step I on another part of the instrument and then repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
6)- Now you know how to properly use Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube. So in the same manner;
described above do the entire instrument, the headstock, fingerboard, front, sides, back, pickguard, pickup covers, tuning keys; all of it for a complete Dr.Ducks musical instrument detail.
For caked-on "sweat spots": lick your finger and remove. For hard to clean spots: repeat the process,
rubbing in a circular motion. For really hard to clean spots: try 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water
to clean it, then reapply Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube to polish and moisturize the instrument.;
You need to check with a professional about the type of finish on your instrument before trying the
alcohol/water trick to make sure that it won't hurt the finish).
7)- For strings: on with a small cloth - wipe off excess with a dry cloth.
8)- Directions for String Drag Friction: Lube with a small cloth or a "Q-Tip" all contact points for each
string. Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube also makes an excellent lube for tuning machine knobs and posts, as well as for bridge saddles and finetuners on locking tremolo systems. A touch in the right spots removing the excess can do wonders. ;
