Does everything juice
Anonymous 15.09.2016
I did not think that a wax could have any plus points worth doing a review for but I was wrong. I've used many cleaners over the years, anything from specialist guitar products to household goods rummaged from under the sink. Wax has been guitar wax to furniture wax to car wax, what can be different? A lot.

I tried this on three Strat types with very different finishes and the results were very good on them all.

Harley Benton ST-62.
This one is the vintage white with maple board & heavily lacquered neck. The finish is thick and kinda like the guitars been dunked in wet plastic. Nice, but I dont think it will ever naturally relic. The body came up clean with a luster that sort of aged it a little. no massive change but just enough "something" to make it work. I did the white pick guard too, that seemed to give a little more depth to the flat white. The main improvement for me on this one was the neck. I lean towards satin necks due to the lacquered ones sometimes feeling sticky. That is now gone. The neck is now slick but not greasy. The 62 has always been my reach for guitar anyway, but playability has improved dramatically. Worth the price for this alone.

Squier Hot Rails Deluxe.
A thinner finish on this one in black with a parchment guard. I was never impressed with the finish, it was black, meh. Just black. Now its piano black. Its a lot deeper than before and feels smoother than a mouses ear. I did the hardware and rosewood fretboard on this one. The chrome came up bright and the grain on the board got a good glossy finish with highlighted grain. I did the strings too. To me Its on par with fast fret.

97 Fender American Standard.
Usual Fender finish in sunburst. This really brought out the true value of Ax Wax. The paint looked new. Blacks were deep and the orange to yellow seemed to blend more smoothly. The neck has been linseed oiled so I just gave it a light rub along with the strings. The feeling now is liquid.

To summarize would I buy again, if I need to yes, but maybe by the time I need more I'll be in a care home that does not allow guitars. You need the smallest amount on a microfiber cloth. A drop that spreads to the size of a pea will do the front, fully. Two drops cover a guitar. Its not greasy, dries well, buffs up easily and leaves a smooth deep coating. i like it, this is now my wax of choice.

Pros:
Not greasy & buffs out well with minimal effort.
Can be used on every part of the guitar.
Great results on all finishes (That Ive tried)
A little goes a very long way.
Odour free, i think.

Cons:
Not a lot. Maybe if i had to choose it would be that when full the bottle spits a bit when you click the top open. A minor, but put the cloth over it when you press it. Dont waste this stuff.

The only other con is that now I want to wax my guitars.

good all in one cleaner
Trent 27.10.2022
i wanted a safe all in one cleaner to clean my whole guitar without worrying about something affecting the finish, and this personally worked really well, just make sure to use only 1 - 2 tiny drops on a microfiber cloth like the yellow thomann polishing cloth, and to polish in circular motions and keep polishing the guitar until there is no grease, keep in mind it can stain clothes, but after fully cleaning and going over it again with a clean microfiber cloth i had no problems in that regard. you can also use more of it on the fretboard to condition the fretboard while you're cleaning the frets, neck and headstock. just make sure to leave it on the fretboard for a few minutes then polish it off. you'll probably go through a couple cloths so get a few, but this was personally by far the easiest and simplest way to clean my whole guitar safely. thanks !

Simply the best
Kerrang Kerranz 08.01.2022
Dr. Ducks ax wax is amazing. It really does everything and a tiny drop is all you need. I now use it for conditioning rosewood and pau ferro fingerboards. It gives them a richer darker colour and a silky feel. I have three other cleaning and conditioning products but never use them anymore. Nothing beats this stuff. Stunning results and no residue. Its simply the best. Buy it and save yourself a fortune.

Not a wax and doesn’t contain any ducks.
luftmietze 03.06.2023
This is a “do everything” mineral oil and a very good one at that.
Pros: It works on fret boards and all guitar bodies. Since it’s a mineral oil it can also be used on steel strings and guitar hardware. A little goes a long way so it lasts a long time. It doesn’t have a strong smell like some other oils used on instruments.
Cons: The bottle is a bit of an issue and it is easy to spill or use to much of the product.
In Conclusion: Best guitar care product ever! You really can’t go wrong with this stuff.

This is GOOD
TobiasFEsq 10.01.2022
I've tried loads, including all the Dunlop ones which have been my usual ones for ages. Saw this and saw all the good reviews and thought I'd give it a go. It's the the BEST polish for ANY guitar for ANY PART OF ANY GUITAR! And also works for anything else that needs a polish - drum hardware, string instruments, cases, leather. It'l last ages too.

Excellent
avokado64 20.11.2021
I put this stuff on everything. The body, the neck and the guitar as well; on the pickguard and pickups, the bridge, tuners, fretboard and strings, it just makes it all look better.
My guitar has never looked nicer. I higlhy recommend it.

It does what it does, and it does it well.
It doesn't seem to stay on for a long time though, which isn't a big deal. I have time to sit there and rub it in.

Great all-purpose product
JxHx the Undeceived 09.11.2020
I wish I'd discovered this before buying lemon oil, string cleaners, finish polisher and so on. Just apply it everywhere on the instrument and it will be protected from rust and properly conditioned and lubed up.
All my guitars and basses look and play better after a few drops and a lot of rubbing.
It even has a faint nice scent.
Be careful! Don't use too much! Just a couple of drops at a time will do.

wax on axe wax off
slappadabass 19.03.2018
Bought a secondhand acoustic bass from a dude that clearly had not done any maintenance on it for the seven years he owned the instrument. Fretboard, headstock and saddle were as dry as a camels toe. Two intense rubs with Dr.Ducks Ax Wax and they were shining again like a bodybuilders but.
I actually chose this product based 100% on the awesome name, but it turned out to be some great axe wax!
It also did a great job on the strings which were also severely dried out.
Only 4 stars because the smell could be improved. It's not bad, but could be better..

I don't wanna rub it in, but this is a great product!

A little goes a long way
Jimwestham 28.11.2022
A really good product but use very sparingly has a little really goes a long way.
I also use this as a fretboard cleaner and conditioner instead of lemon oil.
Also works great as a nut lube.
