Members yyyames Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 I was working on my guitar with some steel wool and I guess some residue got on the fish... when I was whipping the body down I noticed there are these micro scratches on the body now... I tried buffing it out with come car wax and still there . Is there any way to get these out of the finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members yyyames Posted January 25, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 they are light swirl scratches near the neck on a squire tele. If i rub my finger you cannot feel them but in light you can see em. I did some googling and read colgate toothpaste is an old trick and thought it was so funny I tried it but they are still there. I also read this scratchX stuff works anyone ever use it? http://www.meguiarsdirect.com/detail/MEG+G10307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mad Tele Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 car wax is basically a really fine grit sandpaper so if that didnt work you might have to go down in grade to rubbing compound , swirl remover, scratchX, or actually sandpaper like 2000 grit. But id leave it be before you know it you have a full refinish on yer hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members genesis3 Posted January 25, 2013 Members Share Posted January 25, 2013 Something that light, believe it or not, will come out using this stuff..... http://www.guitarscratchremover.com/ Might not be 100% effective, but at the least it will be an improvementJust be prepared to put a helluva lot of elbow grease into it and maybe make several passes...it seems to work more if you apply it, let it set for a minute two and firm up some, then buff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
