This made me think of the time I replied to this kind of query with 'Wire wool and Dettol', Rob :D

 

I remember that one, well, Howard! I laughed for a couple of days. Didn't you pretty immediately post a disclaimer, thinking that dry Brit wit might be misconscrewed...?

Naphtha shouldn't harm a nitro finished. Its not a good solvent for that type of material. Don't use alcohol on it, or especially anything with acetone (fingernail polish remover) on a nitro finish, tho. It can dissolve it in a heartbeat.

 

One of the nice things about refinishing a nitro finish is that the old resin will redissolve when the new finish is applied. It will reseal any cracking and fill in nicely.

I clean my guitars the same way a cat cleans it's ass.

Actually I tried it out for a few weeks and now have a Road Worn 535 ;)

as James Jamerson said: "the gunk gives it the funk!"

 

a quick wipe with a damp cloth usually does it for me...have used naptha on nasty stuff & it seems fine, but I sure wouldn't use it very often; don't really need to

 

James Jamerson - Now there's a bass player for the ages!
