DunlopBodygloss 65 Cream of Carnauba Wax
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Carnauba-based cleaning wax for guitar finishes. For owners doing periodic cleanup on a gloss-finished instrument, not for stripped or oiled wood.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cleaning smudges and arm sweat off a gloss body
- Periodic maintenance between string changes
- Owners of glossy finishes wanting light protection after cleaning
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Satin or matte finishes — wax can gloss up dull areas
- Raw, oiled or unfinished wood, including most fretboards
- Removing scratches or swirls — this cleans, it does not cut
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
Cream, not liquid polish
Stays where you put it instead of running into pickup cavities, bridge slots or the soundhole.
Detail 03
Cleaner and wax in one step
One product for the wipe-down and the protective coat. Fewer steps, less product juggling on a routine cleaning.
Detail 04
White cream appearance
Shows clearly where you have applied it, and dries to a haze that tells you when it is ready to buff off.
Detail 05
Guitar-specific formulation
Intended for instrument finishes rather than automotive clear coat, so it is a safer default than a household polish.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cloth included — you supply clean microfiber for applying and buffing
- 02Test on an inconspicuous spot first, especially on older or refinished instruments
- 03Keep it off the fretboard, nut and bridge saddle
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this on a satin-finish neck?
Not recommended. Wax and buffing can add shine to a satin surface and leave it uneven. Stick to gloss-finished areas, typically the body and headstock face.
02How often should I use it?
Occasionally, not every session. Wax builds up. A wipe-down with a dry cloth handles routine dust; save the wax for when the finish actually looks dull or grimy.
03Will this fix scratches?
No. It cleans and protects the finish. Scratch removal needs an abrasive polish or compound, which this is not.
04Is it safe on a vintage nitrocellulose finish?
Nitro is softer and more reactive than poly. Test on a hidden area first, and if the instrument is valuable, ask a tech before applying anything.
