Use 0000 gauge wire wool (thats four zeros)
Best one is Liberon brand , but other makes are ok too


The Gorgomite stuff does look good too

Yeah, I spotted this Gogomite stuff a while back (probably a post on here) and it seems to pop up every know and then - impressive claims where ever I've read about it.

Has anyone on here actually tried it yet?

I've been trying to find a UK source of Gorgomyte but no luck as yet...

"The GHS String Corporation is now a licensed distributor of Gorgomyte.
Now it's even easier to get hold of "The World's Best Fret & Fingerboard       
Conditioning Cloth"

Just visit any fine musical instrument retailer and ask for it by name, Gorgomyte

(cough) Feline... Hint, hint :P

Ohh, you were suggesting that Feline should stock Gorgomyte?

Yes that would be a good idea as

Feline could also sell it on ebay because no one else is yet.

I've tried that Chrome Frets stuff and it seems to work OK. However I'm not sure if I took long enough to remove the stuff I put on, I thought I did I was rubbing away for minutes (steady Afghan!) but after a while playing the guitars I'd done I had black residue on my fingers.

Out of interest, what's the difference between that Gorgomyte and the lighter grade 3M polishing papers?

It's a while since I read up on it, but I think it's impregnated with magic pixie dust... or something

Magic pixie dust usually means way more expensive doesn't it?

All depends on whether you've got a backroom full of pixies with no work permits churning it out for you...

But yeah, usually means you can charge more for it anyway...
