Dunlop Miracle Cloth, 12 inches
Miracle All-Purpose Polishing Cloth for Guitars, Musical Instruments and Metalwork
The Miracle All-Purpose Polishing Cloth is a versatile cleaning, polishing and protective cloth designed for musical instruments, metalwork, furniture and a wide range of household surfaces. First introduced in the 1960s, its distinctive packaging and long-standing reputation have made it a familiar choice for musicians, collectors and anyone who wants an effective alternative to carrying several separate bottles of polish.
Impregnated with cleaning agents, lemon oil and protective waxes, the cloth helps remove dirt, tarnish, marks and light oxidation while leaving surfaces polished and protected. It is particularly useful for maintaining guitars, brass and woodwind instruments, cymbals, accordions, orchestral strings and other equipment containing a mixture of wood, lacquered finishes and metal hardware.
Why Choose the Miracle All-Purpose Polishing Cloth?
One Cloth for Multiple Instrument Surfaces
Musical instruments often combine several materials, including lacquered wood, chrome, nickel, brass, silver plating and enamel. The Miracle Polishing Cloth can be used across a broad range of these surfaces, making it a practical addition to an instrument maintenance kit.
It is ideal for cleaning:
-
Guitar hardware and metal components
-
Brass and woodwind instruments
-
Cymbals and percussion hardware
-
Accordions
-
Violins, violas and other orchestral string instruments
-
Lacquered instrument surfaces
-
Silver-plated and brass accessories
Helps Remove Tarnish, Marks and Corrosion
The cloth can help lift tarnish, surface oxidation, scuff marks and light corrosion from suitable metal surfaces. This makes it particularly useful for bridge parts, tuning machines, control plates, tailpieces, stands and other hardware that can lose its shine over time.
It can also be used to remove rosin residue from violins and violas, helping players keep their instruments looking presentable after regular practice and performance.
Cleans, Polishes and Protects
Unlike a standard dry microfibre cloth, the Miracle Polishing Cloth contains cleaning and polishing compounds within the material. As you work across the surface, it cleans away unwanted residue while applying a light protective finish.
Its reusable design also reduces the need for multiple bottles of liquid metal polish, furniture polish and surface cleaner.
Useful Beyond Musical Instruments
Although especially popular for instrument care, the cloth can also be used on many everyday surfaces and objects, including:
-
Sterling silver and silver plate
-
Pewter, gold and chrome
-
Nickel, steel and aluminium
-
Copper, brass and bronze
-
Enamel and ceramic tiles
-
Furniture and varnished surfaces
-
Golf clubs and fishing tackle
-
Glass and selected household fittings
It can help remove water marks, ink marks, heat stains, paint spots, road film, rust marks and light surface scratches from suitable surfaces.
How to Use the Miracle Polishing Cloth
Gently rub the cloth over the area requiring attention, using light pressure at first. More stubborn tarnish or marks may require several passes.
Always test the cloth on a small, discreet area before treating the whole surface, particularly when working with vintage instruments, delicate finishes, unlacquered wood, gold plating or heavily aged components.
After polishing, buff the surface with a separate clean, soft cloth where required.

Fair Deal Music Expert Verdict
The Miracle All-Purpose Polishing Cloth is a useful accessory for musicians who own instruments made from several different materials. Its ability to clean and polish wood, lacquer and metal makes it particularly convenient for instrument cases, workshops and home maintenance kits.
For routine care, we recommend using gentle pressure and avoiding excessive polishing. Vintage finishes, thin plating and delicate surfaces should always be treated carefully and tested in an inconspicuous area first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be used on guitars?
Yes. It can be used on suitable lacquered guitar surfaces and metal hardware. Test it on a small area first, especially when cleaning vintage instruments, satin finishes or delicate plating.
Can it remove tarnish from brass and silver?
The cloth is designed to clean and polish brass, copper, silver, silver-plated surfaces and several other metals. The results will depend on the severity of the tarnish and the condition of the surface.
Can it clean violin rosin residue?
Yes. It can help remove rosin marks from suitable finished areas of violins and violas. Avoid using excessive pressure and take care around bare wood, cracks, seams and sensitive varnish.
Is it suitable for cymbals?
It can be used to clean and polish suitable cymbal surfaces. Players who want to preserve factory logos, patina or a naturally aged appearance should test a small area before proceeding.
Does the cloth need additional polish?
No additional polish is normally required because the cloth is already impregnated with cleaning agents, lemon oil and waxes.
How should the cloth be stored?
Return the cloth to its container after use to help prevent it from drying out and to keep its polishing compounds contained.
