Thanks db. I thought by taking it all apart I could really get a handle on eliminating the haze but had limited success, if you could call it that. I did not try the liquid polish though. I should give that a go. Tinkering around with these guitars is a great way to pass the time. Glad (sorry...) to hear I'm not the only one concerned about this. It is definitely worse on the "satin" finished parts than the "gloss" top. Maybe the "satin" finish has more tooth for such films to manifest themselves. The gloss top of this guitar cleaned up perfectly, hmmm.
