Today’s Progress: the Blow dryer worked really well in the back. Progress on the front has been slower.

Thanks for the tip. I got the peeling layer off the front. It looks like there is another clear coat layer under that isn’t peeling off. There is dust under it, maybe I can sand it smooth. Getting the original matte finish back would be ideal, but I would be fine with a nice gloss finish. I just had to get ride of the layer that was falling off.

I bought a guitar that originally had a matte finish and the previous owner decided to clear coat it. It was poorly done and it is peeling off. I could stick my pick between the guitar and the layer of clear coat. So I peeled most of it off but there is some left and I think the finish needs cleaning and polishing. What is the best way to remove the rest of the clear coat and clean up and even restore the matte finish?
