Advanced directions for using Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube properly
Maintaining the Breeds One Ax at a Time
To start out using Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube properly, keep in mind that lT’S VERY CONCENTRATED: a little goes a long way, less is more with Dr. Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube - if you try and "gob" it on, you will not like it - if you follow the directions below, you'll love it !!
For spreading the polish on the instrument and for a buffing rag, ALWAYS USE A 100% COTTON CLOTH, the synthetics will all scratch your finish
Directions for Cleaning/Polishing:
- Use a few drops (very little) on a cotton cloth or put directly on the instrument
- Spread as far as you can, - rub it in - using your fingers or a small piece of cotton fabric (so you can get the feeI of just how far this product does go)
- Let it set a few minutes
- Using a piece of 100% cotton fabric, buff it out for full luster (if it feels a little “greasy” you 're not done buffing)
- Repeat step I on another part of the instrument and then repeat steps 2, 3 and 4
- Now you know how to properly use Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube. So in the same manner described above do the entire instrument, the headstock, fingerboard, front, sides, back, pickguard, pickup covers, tuning keys; all of it for a complete Dr.Ducks musical nstrument detail.For caked-on "sweat spots": lick your finger and remove. For hard to clean spots: repeat the process,
rubbing in a circular motion. For really hard to clean spots: try 50% rubbing alcohol and 50% water
to clean it, then reapply Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube to polish and moisturize the instrument.
You need to check with a professional about the type of finish on your instrument before trying the
alcohol/water trick to make sure that it won't hurt the finish)
- For strings: on with a small cloth - wipe off excess with a dry cloth
- Directions for String Drag Friction: Lube with a small cloth or a "Q-Tip" all contact points for each string. Dr.Ducks Ax Wax & String Lube also makes an excellent lube for tuning machine knobs and posts, as well as for bridge saddles and finetuners on locking tremolo systems. A touch in the right spots removing the excess can do wonders
