I noticed there's ugly patches of dry wax on the body of my Corvette that haven't been absorbed. What's the best way to clean it off?
I can recommend a few things: rubbing really hard with a clean soft cloth..if that doesn't do it you might wan to remove the wax with a bit of lemon oil OR scrub it off with a scotch brite pad (the green ones..). these methods work for me.
I can't imagine how a hair dryer would be of any use - how would you use it?
I find the best way to wax is you apply it with your bare hands (body heat makes it soft) and rub it out 10 minutes later with a soft clean cloth. If you put it on too heavy or don't buff thoroughly you'll have some dull build up. It shouldn't be a painful experience man!
Oh...hmmm. maybe you could. but the bare hand method works fine. plus you can get the wax into all the nooks and crannies with your fingers.
Don't heat your bass with a hair dryer, you will cause hot spots on your wood that will
promote warping. The entire piece needs to remain the same temperature all over all the time. Never set it next to a heating/cooling outlet. Don't set it in a guitar stand out in the sun for extended periods where one side heats up and the other side is shaded.
Allways think of the wood as still being alive and try to handle it that way.
You should check out what flo did, with the melted wax.
...these basses are built to be played under hot lights,by a sweaty shaved ape.
