What are the best instrument polishes under £10 for guitars and drums?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

For guitars, Dunlop JD-654 Formula 65 Clean And Polish (£8) is a bottled option, while Ernie Ball 4278 Wonder Wipe Instrument Polish (£3 for six) suits a portable kit. For drums, consider Trick USA Trick Drum Polish (£8).

The best choice depends on the instrument’s finish and whether you prefer a bottle or wipes. Check your instrument maker’s care advice before buying: a polish should not be assumed safe for every surface.

For guitar care, Dunlop JD-654 Formula 65 Clean And Polish comes in a 4oz bottle, with a best listed new price of £8. Ernie Ball 4278 Wonder Wipe Instrument Polish is £3 for a six-pack—the lower-cost option here, and a handy format to carry in your kit.

For drums, Trick USA Trick Drum Polish is the drum-specific choice among these options, at a best listed new price of £8. Follow its application instructions and check compatibility with the particular surface you intend to polish; don’t assume it also suits cymbals or drumheads.
