Detail 01
Spray applicator
Spray onto a cloth rather than directly onto the guitar, so liquid doesn't run into pickup cavities or the nut.

D'AddarioShine Spray Cleaner Instant Polish
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A $6 spray cleaner for guitar bodies and hardware. Basic maintenance supply for wiping down fingerprints, sweat, and dust after playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Wiping down a guitar after a sweaty gig or practice session
- Keeping a gloss finish free of fingerprints and smudges
- Cheap addition to a gig bag or case pocket
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Fretboard conditioning — this is a cleaner, not an oil
- Deep restoration of oxidized hardware or heavily worn finishes
- Anyone who already owns a general instrument polish that works
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cleaner and maintainer in one
Handles routine wipe-downs. It is not a compound for cutting through scratches or hazing.
Detail 03
Under $6
Low enough to keep a bottle in each case rather than carrying one between instruments.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cloth included. Use a clean microfiber, not a paper towel or shop rag
- 02Test on a hidden spot first if your guitar has a vintage or nitro finish
- 03Spray on the cloth, never straight onto the instrument
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on the fretboard?
It is a body and hardware cleaner. Bare rosewood or ebony fretboards want a dedicated conditioning oil instead, which this is not.
02Is it safe on nitrocellulose finishes?
Nitro is softer and more solvent-sensitive than poly. Test on an inconspicuous area — under the pickguard or in the neck pocket — before doing the whole body.
03Does it come with a cloth?
No, the spray bottle only. You will want a clean microfiber cloth; paper towels can leave fine scratches on gloss finishes.
04How often should I use it?
After playing sessions where you sweat, or whenever fingerprints build up. Routine wipe-downs prevent the buildup that needs harder cleaning later.
