Members Reincaster Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Dremel with a buffer attachment? I'm assuming scratches from your guitar, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bali Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I've had pretty good luck using automobile paint rubbing compound, get the finest grade you can, use with a soft damp cloth and re-polish afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eminence_Front Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've had pretty good luck using automobile paint rubbing compound, get the finest grade you can, use with a soft damp cloth and re-polish afterward. +10 I have used this on my car, motorcycle, jet ski's, guitar, and barb-q grill. Comes in many grades of abrasiveness. Start off with Green, the lightest, use red only on area with extreme scratching, and follow up with a polish coat of green. DO NOT USE with power buffer. Only by hand, apply with damp cloth, buff with dry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Artslinger Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 With polishing componds you want to go with a very fine compond, otherwise you can dull the finish. You also need a medium polish if you want to cut into anything but very fine scratches, and these are normally only machine polishes, and then you need to finish with the finest. I use Griots on my cars, you could try this hand polish. http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/car+care/car+polishing/car+polishes/griot%27s+garage+fine+hand+polish.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ibanezfoo Posted August 20, 2008 Members Share Posted August 20, 2008 Meguires Mirror Glaze, polishing compound, Scratch X, or 12,000+ grit wet sand paper. Don't use a machine as it will heat up and discolor the effected area. Just use elbow grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reincaster Posted August 21, 2008 Members Share Posted August 21, 2008 Meguires Mirror Glaze, polishing compound, Scratch X, or 12,000+ grit wet sand paper. Don't use a machine as it will heat up and discolor the effected area. Just use elbow grease. Depends, I used a buffing pad with my dremel, and made it quick ad painless, a small dab of polish, half a second with the dremel, and voila. But I've been detailing cars for years, so I guess it takes some experience to get it done right without getting buffer burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bigred18 Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yep, there sure is! Ever hear of Brasso? Check it out in the household cleaners section of your town's supermarket, (it comes in this little 6in tall, 3in wide, and 1in deep can... it looks like a flask). What it is, is a brass polishing compound, a microabrasive. It was recommended to me by an owner of local guitar shop. It worked well for me, hope it does for you too. First, what I would do is try it on a spot of the guitar where nobody will see it... you, know polishing agents react different to differently types of finishes, you can never be too safe. Anyway, hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
