I saw now Warwick recommends any kind of polish, but the finish today is different than in 2007. Now they are using UV finish, it is also very thin, but it is also harder.

From what I can tell Windex is a glass cleaner.. and
it contains Ammonia, a very very harsh caustic..
I would not put that anywhere near, or on, an
instrument...
Could I upgrade to the brass Just-A-Nut III ?

Mebbe you'd care to explain further ?Absolutely. Never use glass cleaner, ammonia
or not, on any Wick finish.
Thank you for the help everyone. Well finally got the Warwick German made Corvette $$. Have a few issues...
The brass frets have that greenish tarnish color. Not completely but on them. Is there a way to clean that off and polish them up?
Finally the two pickups on the $$.. one or two of the big dot magnets has some slight rusty color on them.. is that bad?
Just want to know because if that is BAD then should I return it to the seller? I got it for $750 which I thought was a good deal..
The screws also look rusty.
Everything else looks in good shape.. neck, body, etc. I will post some pics soon.
Fairly normal to see some rusty bits. Probably from sweat, humidity. Should be able to polish it off decently, no problem. The price you paid seems very fair, and it's a "normal" occurrence... so need to think about a return for something that minor.
As for the frets, there are several options. Personally, I'd stay away from ever using steel wool. Zero need to use that messy stuff. Way too much of a hassle. My personal favorite as of now, is this cheap set of ultra fine 3M paper and a cheap set of board protectors. This works great for me. Zero mess, cleans up the frets beautifully. The one metal board protector that comes with it, won't fit the jumbo frets. So get a cheap set for that. As for conditioning the board....I'm a big fan of Nomad's F1 oil.
Here are some links. Good luck
