I was skeptical using a polishing compound because I was never happy using them in the past. After modifying and sanding the heel of a gloss black lacquer neck, I wanted to bring back the original lustre. I decided to read some online instructions and helpful hints about using a combination of 800-1500 grit sandpaper with the medium and fine polishing compounds. I tested what the instructions said to do and they were spot on. I couldn't get away with just using the fine compound unless I fine sanded with 1200 grit paper. Or, when I used the medium compound instead of the 1200 grit and then followed up with the fine compound, I got amazing results. I followed the instructions and got exactly what I was hoping for. It was easy. Go figure.

These worked great for a repair. It was good to have a bit of each.

The kit is just what you need to produce great results. However, the price is a little steep for the small amounts that you get with each container of polish.

I use the small tubes medium, fine, swirl remover, With the small 3" buffing pads. Starting out with 2000 grit Micro mesh I was able to remove the nasty scuffs and scratches that have developed on my MIA Strat over the years. If you are also a beginner I do recommend practicing on a inexpensive guitar body to get the hang of things, before buffing your top dollar prized instrument. This is a great product!!! Take your time be patient and follow the instructions.

On my first finish job I used the ColorTone lacquer and it looked pretty doggone good after just the paint. Then I buffed that thing with 3 grades of ColorTone polishing compounds and WOW. I couldn't have guessed the finish would look this good. Very impressive. Those little bottles go a long way too.

Love the fine polish with a foam pad. Really takes the buffer scratches to the next level of polish.

These make absolutely no difference. Yes, I followed all the directions. Been a guitar tech and luthier for years. Decided to try these out, and I guess I'll be sticking to what's i know works, because these do not.

This is really nice polish. I used micromesh up to 12,000 and then used fine polish with outstanding results.

I used the coarse, medium, and fine compounds to finish off a finish - great results!

Love how well it works for a high gloss finish! Great product!
