 Santa Cruz Fine Instrument Wax – How To Instructions and Special Considerations

As Written on the Santa Cruz Website:

In our endless quest for the best products to enhance, protect, and maintain your prized Santa Cruz guitar we have developed a premium wax specifically for SCGC's nitro cellulose lacquer finish. The formula has no additives such as silicone that could harm your finish. It contains some proprietary elements in very high quality Carnauba wax that will protect and enhance your lacquer finish.

A wonderful benefit of SCGC Wax is that it doesn't leave an unsightly white line around the edges of the bridge or fingerboard where it extends over the guitars top or where the neck heel joins the body. It is still prudent to avoid a build up of wax in these areas. Be careful not to get wax or polish of any kind into cracked or chipped finish as it will seriously resist any future attempts to repair the finish. Do not use on bare wood such as the fingerboard or bridge as the wax will dry white in the pores. We will have an excellent treatment especially formulated for SCGC's unfinished wood surfaces available soon. If your neck has a satin finish it was applied to make the neck faster by reducing drag. Don't use wax or oils on these necks as it will diminish this benefit.

Make sure that the guitar is free of debris that could cause abrasion. Use a scratch-free cloth such as Micro-fiber, flannel, etc. and use the cloth to dip a small amount of wax, way less then a teaspoon. Only apply to one surface, back, top, or one side at a time. Start with the back at first, as it is a surface free of obstructions. Apply the wax using a circular motion to completely cover the desired area. Let it set for one to three minutes. Using a clean cloth and a circular motion you will remove the wax and achieve a great gloss at the same time. You have created a beautiful surface that will protect your fine finish from perspiration, skin oils, or errant beverages for a long time.
