I posted above about use of graphine to shine and protect a vintage guitar, in fairly good shape. From the comments, I learned that there is much misunderstanding about it. It is an offshoot of products to protect and shine cars. But its uses go further. For example, a 5 minute application of ceramic or graphine to a stainless steel appliance will help prevent fingerprinting. And as I said in my other post, it can shine and protect guitars too. I recently discovered an automatic car wash in my city that washes with strips if artificial chamois (not harsh brushes) and finishes with a graphine coating. This amounts to an external detailing for $18! All my cars have been so treated, and they don’t accumulate dust, goop, or anything else. washing them is quick and easy as this thin coating hates dirt and water is easily removable. Ten years ago, I was the detailing moderator on the Mercedes Benz Club of America forum, and then real detailing could be a two day process. I worked to reduce that. The ceramic and graphine products used in a wash are the answer to my goal. My cars shine and reject dust, dirt, and grease. My appliances don’t fingerprint. And neither do my guitars. Manufacturers of these wipe on or spray on — wash off products have told me they are safe and good on poly, lacquer, and any other sealed finish. I have found this to be so. Just not for reliced guitars!
