I missed him, too - dude's quick. He got back between those cars before I could accelerate!
Let's see if this gets him stirred up enough to enlighten us about this maintenance kit.

I know this was brought up earlier but visuals help... from PRS website.
I agree it's weird that a PRS polish doesn't work on all PRS guitars. It is a new finish for them though. That's said I wouldn't want to be one of the unfortunate souls to use it and mess up a guitar. It appears they have released a new formula that is safe for nitro? I wonder if that's adding to the confusion?
I have been using Dr. Duck's AxWax on my Martin's, Strat and MM Stingray for years. On my Martin's and strat, it seems to have given the finish a darker color, but does not appear to have "damaged" it. I always use it on my fretboards (I don't have any maple fretboards yet). I have been told that Martin uses Dr. Duck's at the factory on the fretboards. Due to the darkening of the color though on body parts, I have stopped using it on any of my finishes other than fretboard (and bridge or other raw wood that needs oil). And those bottles of AxWax do last for decades, especially if used only on untreated wood.I've been using the same bottle of axwax for about 15 years on any guitar.
I use some xlr8 pads to put axwax on my strings before playing.
I also put a little on my board when I change strings.
Has anyone ever heard of any problems with axwax?

The old version was not recommended for their Nitro finishes, and said that, at least on the webpage. Can't remember if it was on the bottle. The new formula is supposed to be safe for all of their finishes, but a couple of people have reported issues.They must have changed the packaging on the polish. I am pretty sure that the bottles I have mention that it was not compatible with certain finish types. I have had mine for a while and the reason is that statement on the bottle. I am usually not too willing to test things out that could damage the finish. I stick with Gibson polish. I have never had an issue with it on any finish type. It actually has nitro in it. I have been using if for many years.
