essexbasscat Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Forgive me if this one's been done before. Does anyone know a good swirl mark remover available in the UK ? Many polishing agents are great for buffing up faded finishes and cutting back materials to remove very small marks, but they leave swirl marks behind, the kind you can see if you hold a poly finish at a shallow angle. They look like very fine (often) circular scratches. Ideally, a swirl mark remover would also leave a gloss finish on a scratchplate too (after much polishing). I'd like to avoid silicone agents (residue) and other things that leave some kind of residue on the surface which makers often claim is for protection. Anyone know of a good swirl mark remover ? Thanks all Edited January 10, 2012 by essexbasscat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 You just have to keep at it with the cutting agent until the swirls finally dissapear... adding water helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essexbasscat Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Thanks for the reply Ou7shined. Makes sense, but many cutting agents are too course and leave their own marks behind. Some are not water soluble. Could you recommend a good compound ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it free from a pro body-repairer mate of mine. It does funny things to your hands though (toughens the skin and turns them black if you play guitar shortly after using) so use with care.
