what are ya guys using again on keeping your rods cleaned with? was it simple wax?

Meguiar's Carnauba Wax. It is a liquid - wipe on, buff to shine. Twice a year and it keeps them nice and clean.

pledge does a pretty good job too, but not as durable as the carnauba

I like Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish, you can get it at most motorcycle shops. It may be Pledge in a Honda can, but it works great. It also works good to clean rods periodically especially if you fish around grass.

Like Jim said or any other good Auto wax with no polishing agents in it.

Mothers California Gold Pure Carnauba Wax, nothing else comes close IMO

I've been using a product called Royal Blue, a carnaubu wax that buffs out so clear you can use it on glass.

Last year I started using Renaissance microcystalline wax on my fly rods. I applied it to the nickel hardware, the wood spacer and from the winding check to the tiptop.

I use both a high quality hard wood floor past wax or a carnauba
