Planet Waves Fret Polishing System

Giving a new to me 2nd hand guitar a bit of TLC - after taking the strings off to give full access i used these to give the frets a buff. They are 'sided' so one side has the texture and the other side is smooth. The packaging also doubles as a fretboard cover so you don't mark the wood. It was so easy I then loosened off the strings on another guitar and gave those frets a polish too - I hadn't realised they needed it but these cleaned them up and made them shine. Great value for money - I really like d'addario products, the guitar detailing polish is excellent for getting your paint back to super shiny.

I bought these because I was given a guitar , the frets were tarnished, tough and dull through lack of use, at first I thought they didn’t work but I had the cloth the wrong way around 😂,, so after I realised I was an idiot and read the instructions they worked surprisingly well, , coupled with some metal fret guards I’d bought they took all the tarnish off and polished the frets up well and with not a lot of effort , will buy these again when I’ve used them up

I used this as a 'quick' (LOL) fix for cleaning the tarnished frets on a second hand classical guitar. The product worked as described but took a great deal of effort and elbow grease to clean moderately dirty frets. It took me over an hour of repeated buffing with the cleaning cloths to get the frets to an acceptable standard and shine. I was quite pleased with the end result but will buy a higher quality set of pads and metal fret protector next time. It is handy for using as a one-off disposable product and did the job well - eventually!

I swear by these, i use them all the time. Bring frets up like new every time

These things will take tarnishing and gunk off your frets, don't shave off any discernable fret material and don't damage your fretboard. If you were to use these after every string change on a guitar from new, I can see them being a very effective way at having good condition frets for a longer time. However, that's where the good points end. The amount of effort required to polish your frets with these is understated. It'll take about an hour if you're refurbing a particularly well used guitar, or a neglected second hand acquisition. These are effectively thick textured fabric, and you really have to give it some welly if you want them to do their job. If you use these to give your frets a quick clean after every string change, they definitely are an effective way to do that; but for anything else 000 steel wool is far quicker and far more effective. These will not polish your frets up to a mirror shine, but they will get mild grime or mild tarnishing off, and will make more neglected frets look and feel a lot better.

Bought this on a whim really didn’t think it would be any good but I was so pleased with the outcome I cleaned up and then polished frets to 2 guitars I have the cream etc to do the frets but this was so much easier there’s 2 sizes on a cardboard cut out to go over the frets and protect the fret board

Nice and cheap in comparison to what's out there to do the same job

I have those posh Japanese rubber polishers, but forgot and ordered a pack of this stuff. In the meantime I remembered and used the rubber (1000) which did and ok job, and was easy to use. When these arrived I used them pht of curiosity. They did a great job, buy are a bit painful to use. The fretboard 'guard' is just a bit of cardboard, which won't last long at all. The sheets work well, but are more hassle than the rubbers. Probably wouldn't buy again as wasteful format. Very limited reuse potential.

サブのギターがほったらかしになっていたので在宅ワークの合間にメンテナンス。 ちなみにIBANEZ j-custom数本所有。 30年ギターを弾いているが、こういうのはリペアショップに任せてしまっていたので、 それでよかったが、近年リペアも高くなってきたので、工数減らすために自分でやってみようと。 （メインは相変わらずリペアに出しているが） 音質を考えるとマジのすり合わせに関してはプロに任せたほうが確実。 いやーもっと早く自分でやっていればよかった。 くすみがきれいに落ちて購入時の輝きが…って通販番組みたいだがとにかくきれいになる。 フレットの手触りもよくなって、プレイアビリティも向上。 やっぱり楽器はメンテナンスが大事。 5シートあって最初は「あまりはどうすれば…」とか考えていたが、一本磨いた段階ですべて消費していた。 ちなみに指板ダメージを出さないために紙ケースを切り抜いて使うのだが、１本磨き上げるとヨレヨレ。 ま、かなりの汚れだったので、そんなもんかと思ったが 一度やっておけば次回からはもう少し少ない使用量になるかと。 次は５弦ベースにもチャレンジしよう。

Works as expected. Nice opportunity to clean and polish the entire instrument since strings are removed.

This and lemon oil will bring your guitars neck new life. If you have a budget guitar, or old guitar that needs some love; absolutely buy this - it will play 100x better. The package has a built in “fret polishing template” you cut off that works fine, so if youre only doing one or two guitars itll be a fine substitute for an actual one. Just be careful not to go crazy polishing and try and use your fingernail to get the sides of the fret polished as well.

Este producto no puede faltar en tu kit de mantenimiento para tu instrumento. Mi Tele nueva tenía trastos rasposos que resultaba en bends incómodos y un sonido desagradable, y después de unas buenas pasadas con este producto se mejoró bastante (igual ocupa otra recia). En las imágenes se puede apreciar cuanta suciedad le pude quitar a una guitarra nueva, y que los trastos quedan relucientes. Es fácil de usar, sólo necesitas hallar el lado áspero de la tela, y muy importante, usar una guarda sobre el diapasón (puedes recortar el empaque y usar las plantillas, aunque yo usé una guarda metálica y de paso la pulió también). Te toma unos 15 a 20 minutos, de 5 a 10 pasadas con fuerza mínima por trasto, el brillo avisa. Como ves en la imagen, puedes maximizar el uso de la tela y minimizar desperdicio. Un paquete de éstos te va a durar buen rato de seguro. Hay otros métodos y productos, pero si es líquido corres el riesgo de manchar la madera, o si es un material abrasivo desgastas el metal y el material removido puede terminar en tus pastillas y crearte muchos problemas. Con este producto olvídate de esos riesgos. Fácil de usar, efectivo, vale la pena invertir en este producto.

Cumple con el objetivo. Los trastes quedaron perfectamente pulidos y solo llegué a usar una hoja y media de las que vienen. Fácil de usar. Mejor usarlos con unos protectores de trastes de metal.
