Hi all. I've been lurking here for a while and finally signed up. I'm a longtime regular user of the UMGF, but recently I've realised a lifelong dream, and acquired a National 014. It's all still very new, and I'm real novice when it comes to resonator guitar setup/maintainence. I'm getting there though!
NRP recommend using Flitz or Autosol for cleaning the metal body occasionally (for stubborn marks). I've got some Autosol (couldn't find Flitz in New Zealand). I used it sparingly on a few marks on my guitar - worked great!
I just wonder if I should avoid the sandblasted patterns with the polish? I.e. could I accidentally polish through the sandblasting, or is that impossible?
Sorry if it's a dumb question. I really am a novice!
John in NZ.

You can polish through the nickel plating without much difficulty. I wouldn't
use anything on it but water.

Yeah, I'd use water on that beauty. Even for the cone on my wood body reso, only water. Other than changing strings, I just am really am timid about polishing and cleaning my instruments.
