This is a sad post (my first post here btw).
My one-week-old LP Slash Standard Goldtop has a black stain clearly visible on the cream binding.
This happened due the use (5 minutes!!) of a Klotz guitar cable locked into the strap, as every player does when standing with the guitar.
I try cleaning the nitro finish with a special semi-wet cloth normally used to clean metal and other stuff (it's called "cape cod" if I remembered correctly). I removed a little bit of the stain but it looks like it is sunken into the finish, so polishing the thing doesn't work more than that.
I always use same cable with my nitro finished PRS silver sky without any issue, but using it for 5 minutes on my LP was a disaster!
Is it possible to repair in any way the finish?
Also, how do you lock guitar cables when standing with your LPs?
I was really care about protecting the finish with cotton clothes on stands and resting the LP in the case after cleaning it EVERY time I play, but I missed the plastic cable... no one mention the cable as a possible threatening, so beware of that!
