Hi guys,

There's been some chatter on my guitar web sites recently about taking satin-finished guitars and transforming them into a gloss finish. An automotive polish called Smooth-Cut is highly recommended, and I was wondering if anyone's used this 2000-grit polish on their car? I'm thinking this summer it might be time for Nebuchadnezzar to get a full treatment as I've got light swirl marks in a few places.

What do you think? FYI, here's the thread on the acoustic guitar forum where I got wind of this: http://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/...ad.php?t=116828

By the way, anyone want to lend me their Porter Cable so I can use it on one of my guitars?

 

I never heard of it Charlie. Mightmake sense to find a body shop or detailer who uses it and ask their opinion. Maybe Mikey knows about it. Try PMing him.

 

That's a good idea, Bill. Thanks.

 

where is Max when you need him?

 

Have you asked the broad audience over in "Wash & Wax" group yet Charlie?

 

Nah, haven't tried that Doug. Maybe I'll do that.

And, JT, really... where *is* that guy? I remember watching him take a high speed rotary buffer to his yellow S -- it made me cringe. He was a brave soul!
