Re: Is Buffing Out High Gloss Finish Scuff Possible And/Or Urgent
You could try a method that i've used with some success in the past. I used Silver Polishing wadding,well squeezed out to remove the excess white spirit that carries the polishing media (Jeweller's Rouge), which is an ultra-fine reddish powder. Squeeze the wadding out as much as you can - even if it's almost dry,there'll be enough polish in it to do the job. Very lightly polish the areas a few rubs at a time,wipe the polish off with a soft cloth & examine the areas being polished. As soon as they looks 'good enough' - that's it !. Wipe off the polish completely & polish the top with a good silicone free furniture polish. I used that method on a couple of instruments (inc.my own Weber "Fern") & because the polishing media is ultra-fine,only grossly overdoing it will cause any damage. You could try it out on a small area,say on the top rear of the headstock to test the result you'd get,
