So I was off work today for a doctor's appointment and had the rest of the day to kill. I recently acquired a Collings MT through a trade with a Cafe member. I've had other satin finish mandos before but this one seems more on the flat side. I got me some Meguiar's rubbing compound and polishing compound and started rubbing. I was a little nervous at first but I used to do a little paint and body work in my younger years and have done plenty of rubbings and buffing out clear coats. After about 4 hours it turned out great. I started to sand a little with 1600 grit but I stuck with polishing because I didn't know how thick the finish was. It turned out great and even I think it's a little louder now,too.
