Just wondering how do you clean tarnished frets? Use Autosol to make it shine back? hahaha.. Also what is phase shifting? :roll:

wa cool. issit like some kind of cloth wipe already chemicallyformulated to restore shine?

 

[pooo]

I don't think many here will recommend the use of autosol, especially when that stuff gets onto the fingerboard. In anycase, if you do choose to use it, mask up the wood with masking tape before doing so.

sub where to get that cloth?

the FPS cloth isn't chemically treated, it's nothing too different from zero grade steel wool but the manufacturer promises very little fret wear upon use.

Sounds interesting. Do post a review soon Sub!

And dwarfstars, you'll find out what's phase switching when you come by my place tonight.

Jim Dunlop also has a fret polish cloth/sheet. I bought a box of 10 sheets when I was on vacation so I dunno who sells here.

It works good for tarnish and take out yellow but you need something else for rust. The cloth turns black really quickly so i threw away some before I read that you can wash it under water and re-use
