gepetto Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 What shall/can I use to polish a guitar body which is painted/laqcuered with acrylic car-spray cans? Wet sanding is done. Is normal car-wax ok (like Turtlewax or similar)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aMpaGe Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 >BUMP< I'm curious to see some replies to this as well. I am full on automotive paint / normal everyday products now, vs. order special fancy schmancy junk from web. Pain in the nuts. Had I known I get could the exact same results with acrylic lacquer that I could with nitrocellulose, I never would have used nitro... When I want stuff, I wanna drive down and pick it up, not order it and wait for UPS to bring it to me. =) I will soon have a body done and ready after 2000 grit wet-sanding and am curious to see which polish I am going to go with. I don't think I will use turtle wax, but most likely a VERY light-abrasive armor all type product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Actually there are several products on the market for buffing out finish's Here is an article that talks about a few of them. Personaly I'm still using the 4 different grade's of compounds from Stew Mac simply because I haven't used them all up yet, so I really couldn't comment on the other stuff.
