Question:
I have gold plated tuners on my guitar that are tarnished. What can I
use to safely polish these so the plating won't come off?
Answer:
I would try a product that we like very much in our shop called
Virtuoso Cleaner. This stuff is high as a cats back and works great. I
know the guy who has it bottled and he uses it on very expensive
antique guitars. That is how we discovered it. Try this on a very soft
cloth and it may work the best. Any other type of cleaners will almost
definitely rub the gold off.
