Cleaning gunk off the edge of the body

[AdamAg98]

What are you using to clean the film that forms on the top edge of the body? It builds up from my forearm resting on the edge. I try to whipe the neck after each play but I often forget to hit the body as well.

My EB polish arrived yesterday and it did a great job of getting the smudges off, but the funk on the edge is pretty stubborn. It is an Axis w/the polyester finish.

Thanks!

I guess I'm lucky that my sweat isn't that funky... never had that problem...

Try a warm, damp cloth, then dry it and hit it with the EB wipes.

Try lighter fluid (naphtha) with a clean, soft cloth. Then use some kind of finish protectant (wax or synthetic).
