not that I have any info, but if there is, I think that would make a big difference. I own a few guitars as well. Interesting topic!

There is a guitar detailing kit by Fender. I believe it is made by Meguiar's. Meguiar's online has a few guitar details on there.

I thought I saw a member here post a few pictures of his guitar polished out..or was that his laptop ...if I remember correctly he's from Norway but I could be wrong here.

Any who, you have an advantage, you have the PosiTector 200 use it and see how much clear coat you got then you can polish it by hand...not sure if I would use a rotary directly on the surface but I can't see any harm doing it by hand..well just my

I tried to detail my guitar... i somehow failed on it.. i think varnish is different from car paint.. hehe doh!

I tried machine polishing it.. tried wet sanding it..another compounded it and sand scratches remained.. well..

hey maybe somebody will be successful

use your swissvax wood polish if its wood, if plastic use 106ff or Meg's PlastiX... all by hand of course, maybe could get away with using a PC. Then wax with whatever you want
