I use Teflon based car polish. Been using it for years and my 81 Franklin's mica is just like it was when it was built. I use the polish on everything, polished aluminum surfaces and fretboards. Eliminates fingerprints from handling the guitar and only needs an "annual polishing".

What I have now is a flea market polish labeled "Las Vegas Show Car Polish". It goes by many names at different flea markets but is basically the same.

"Polish for Formica?"

That would be,,,"plastykowy!"

The Teflon "polish" is really more a protector than a "polish". Can't say it has hurt it since the 1981 guitar still looks almost new.

I use Gibson guitar polish in the pump spray bottle.
