Question 1

My new furniture recommends a non-silicone water-based furniture cleaner. Is this water-based, or does this cleaner meet that requirement?

Accepted Answer

It states on the can that it is Silicone Free with a unique blend of natural oils.  Nowhere does it state that it is water based.  It meets the none silicone requirement but doubt the water based one..

Question 2

What is the shelf life on this? I want to stock up and buy a bunch of cans, do they expire?

Accepted Answer

I don't know.  There's no expiration date on the can.  My guess is that they'd be good for several years. I suggest writing to the manufacturer, Valspar; the address in Michigan is on the can.  4999 - 36th Street, SE, Grand Rapids, MI  49512.  Or better, call them at 800-822-7359.  Hope this helps.

Question 3

Is this product good for cleaning and polishing high end guitars, mandolins, violins, and so on?  Is it safe for the instruments?

Accepted Answer

Guardsman Polish is a wonderful product that I've used on fine wood furniture for 25 years. My understanding is that it has no silicone. I've never used it on musical instruments, but I wouldn't be afraid to use it. Perhaps you cancan try it on an inconspicuous spot on an instrument. Remember to spray the polish on a soft cloth to apply and buff with another soft dry cloth. (It is better not to spray directly on the surface.)

Question 4

I own several antique pieces that are waxed and buffed once a year. Can this product be safely used on them? Pledge, I know, destroys waxed surfaces.

Accepted Answer

Guardsman is what I use on my antique furniture.  Doesn't present a high shine but there is no build up.
