For decades, guitar players have relied on one-size-fits-all cleaners and polishes—many of which contain harsh chemicals, silicone, or petroleum-based ingredients that can damage delicate finishes and leave unwanted residue. GuitarTek was engineered to change that. Each product in the line is purpose-built, using dermatologist-tested, effective formulations that deliver professional results without compromising the instrument—or the player.
“We’ve spent years helping people fix and build guitars. This is about helping them to take better care of them every day,” said Brock Poling, StewMac VP of Marketing and Customer Experience. “We didn’t want to make just another cleaner. We wanted to rethink the entire approach to guitar care—from the ingredients to the way players actually use these products day to day.”
The GuitarTek launch features four core products, each engineered for a specific role in guitar care:
- Gloss Max (High-Shine Polish) – A petroleum-free, silicone-free polish designed specifically for high-gloss finishes. It restores a brilliant, mirror-like shine without streaking and is safe for even the most delicate lacquer and poly finishes.
- Clean Axe (Total-Care Cleaner) – A versatile, all-in-one cleaner that safely removes caked-on dirt from gloss, satin, and matte finishes, as well as hardware and plastics—without harsh chemicals or heavy scrubbing. Available in convenient individual and multi-pack wipes perfect for guitar cases or 4 oz. spray bottles for quick touch ups.
- Board Oil (Fretboard Cleaner + Conditioner) – A premium fretboard treatment that cleans stubborn grime, rehydrates dry wood, and restores a natural feel and appearance without waxy buildup. Featuring our new easy-to-use, patent-pending applicator. Pro results in seconds.
Each GuitarTek formula is made with Amazonian Rosewood oil and is free of harmful silicone and petroleum. The cleaners and polishes are dermatologically tested for skin safety—making it the only line of guitar care products designed with both instrument and user in mind.
With GuitarTek, StewMac delivers on a simple promise: pro-level guitar care made simple. Whether it’s restoring shine, conditioning a dry fretboard, or maintaining a full instrument, players now have a complete system tailored to every surface of their guitar.
The GuitarTek line is available starting June 1, 2026 at StewMac.com, as well as through Amazon and Reverb.
