As an owner of an acoustic guitar myself, I have mishandled it in-numerable times.
Over time,even the utmost care that you take in handling your guitar would sometimes prove in-efficient as the guitar will develop some in-consistencies due to the ageing of various guitar parts over time.
Some of the most notable features of an aged guitar include
=> Rusted Strings.
=>Damping of a note which is quicker than the normal time a note takes to die out.
=>Rusting of the grooves present on the fret board.
=>Difficulty in tuning the guitar as the turning screws get rusted.
These effects can be minimized if not completely taken care of in the guitar using various guitar maintenance products.

Dunlop System 65 Guitar Maintenance Kit
This kit provides the most essential products that will get your guitar back in shape within no time.
This kit includes :-
-Formula 65 polish :- Any light abrasion on the body of the guitar can be taken care of by this polish.
The body gives a nice and neat polished look and you wont resist picking it up and playing a quick solo!
-Bodygloss 65 Cream of Carnauba Wax :- That "bling" you get while you brought your brand new guitar is back! A nice,clean and a shiny wood is therefore obtained after using this wax.Pick it up and go for another solo c'mon :D
-Ultraglide 65 String Saver:- One of the most common behaviour of a rusted string is that it produces shrill multiple notes when strummed.Also changing chords on a rusted string becomes difficult
as it usually results in minor cuts in your fingertips. The Ultraglide 65 String Saver is used to clean the rust on the strings and makes it nice and hard so that it produces a sharp note when strummed.
-Fingerboard cleaner/prep and Fingerboard Conditioner:- These are used to remove any abrasions/irregularities on the fret board thereby giving a nice and smooth finger movement.
