Any ideas on how to polish the Hofner?

Might sound silly but my Hofner is starting to look kinda sad. I'm wanting to clean/polish it but am not sure what would work best.

When we would clean the instruments at E3 last year (to make sure they all looked shiny on stage, and to hide the fact that we had been stuffing our faces with Doritos before demos) we'd just use Windex and paper towels to remove fingerprints, smudges, etc from the body of the guitars.

That thread title sounds incredibly rude.

It's plastic, so any glass cleaner should be good.

Genius. I think its awesome how relaxed Harmonix seems.

Couldn't find Windex so I used a multipurpose cleaner and it worked just as well. Mine just had an excess of finger prints on it.

I know how to polish MY hofner... but you'll have to figure yours out by yourself!

Oh man! That gave me a good laugh.

Use Novus #2 plastic polish - it does a GREAT job and is made specifically for plastic. Look it up on the web. It is used typically to clean motorcycle windshields and pinball machine playfields. I am not kidding - I restore classic pinball machines and it is awesome stuff.

does this work with scratches? my new quitar has a couple of scratches from something falling on it in the box. i think its going to get to me...

Somehow mine got a big dark scuff through the paint... right down to the plastic... on the front. I've ended up buying another one off of eBay. Wish I knew how it got scratched... I've babied that thing.
