Popped into Halfords to get a few car cleaning/detailing bits on their 2 for 3 offer.
Upon my return home I wondered how good the wax was I had bought, so out comes the guitar and gets given a good "detail" as the Yanks call it.
Good news is the guitar is now cleaner than the day I day I bought it, bad news is that I think any life I did have has made a bolt for the door and slammed it firmly behind it.
Please tell me I'm not alone, it's a dark place and I need other nerds to keep me company...........

To a sparkly finish!
I don't know about that level of guitar cleaning. A cursory rub over with a clean cloth is usually plenty.
I'm with the guys on fret polishing though. They feel amazing after a wire wooling, and a good going over with some metal polish wadding. Preparation is everything though. That wire wool gets everywhere.
I think I have OCD, I cannot stand to have a dirty car and somehow this is beginning to extend itself to guitars!
As you can tell I'm not to keen on the relic guitars!
A compulsive cleaner eh! If Mrs Electrodan ever meets you, I think she'll be off.
I played on the same bill as a well known 70's band a long time ago. Their guitarist had a red USA Strat with so much brown crud around his pickups, he probably wouldn't have been able to adjust them. It was like a tiny 360 degree disabled ramp around them.
He must have realised how daft it looked when I took my Candy Apple red MIJ Strat out and the scratch plate and pickup covers were pristine white, because the next time I played with them he had chiselled it off.
You're not alone I'm afraid
I'm not going to detail what I do for fear of ridicule; suffice to say its far worse than the odd 'wax on, wax off', lets just say it involves white cotton gloves and some cotton buds
I have one of these instead
