What is the best way to clean fingerprints from a French polish top?
A clean soft cloth will generally do the job on fingerprints or general schmutz. Our set-up department uses turtle wax or most any other guitar or violin polish – a small amount on a dry cloth, rubbed by hand should do. Two years from the date on the label – that’s how long the French polish will take to finally set up, not be so soft and subject to dings and marring.
