What do you use to clean and or protect the finish of your bow? How often?

You can hop but you can't hide.
If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.
Yip yipahooooo yipyipyip.

So about once a year.

I just used some old car finish that is safe for clearcoat that was on the workbench. It seems to do a very nice job as long as you do not mind a little shine.

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

I just put wax in any scratches and give it a wipe over every now and then.

I use Bees Wax to help keep my bows weather resistant & wipe them every once in a while.

The bow string is waxed more frequently.
Zona Custom Recurve: 60" 49# @ 27.5".
Sky Sky Hawk Recurve: 60" 47# @ 27.5".

I use johnson paste wax about every 3-4 months on the bow and wax the string about 2 months. Do a general wipe down 1x a week.

I don't use anything over these epoxy finishes. I just wipe them with a damp cloth when they are dirty. I used to use paste wax on the poly and Tru-Oil finishes, but it clouds and hazes in wet weather, which bugs me for some reason. I just dry them off when they get wet, and put another coat on when they get looking thin.

Killdeer
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
