Polish/buff out scratch on cs lp

[Larsh1995]

Hi! I ended up making a scratch in my cs lp jr. Any tips to fix this? Its not too deep so Maybe buffing/polishing could do it? And if, what polish should i use? Thanks

meguiars ultimate compound is my go to for light scratch removal its an extremely fine compound and almost impossible to over work and cut through finish.

Is it safe for nitro? So i just use a microfiber cloth?

 

[Brek]

yeah very safe on nitro, I used it on my R0 two years ago no issues what so ever as a result. I actually did the whole top to remove the vos treatment, and its now a very glossy finish. that mark will need a 1/4 in drop of compound to do.

I wil try it out! What kind of polish cloth is best for this stuff?

 

[Brek]

i have used micro fibre but found/prefer the gibson cloths work better. also whichever cloth you use there is very little pressure required. i would do a few circular passes over the scratch, wipe of and visually inspect to see if more passes needed,

Hey All, I have this in another thread but maybe it's worth being it's own thread. A few months ago I bought a guitar I wasn't able to check out in person. The seller told me the guitar had a heavy smoke smell that had prevented other buyers from taking it home. Since I, A. Have a very weak...

This is my post from a sister site. Ultimately the D'Addario Restore did 100% of the scratch removal on the Les Paul Firebrand. I didn't use anything else on that guitar at all.

Honestly though, I wouldn't worry about your scratch at all.

It took me a whole minute and then I had to zoom in on my phone to even see the scratch. You're only going to get more, I wouldn't worry at all and keep playing it.
