I've tried fretless many times and never mastered it...when I read threads like this I'm tempted to try again...I HATE YOU ALL!!! Lol! I've always been the same, not patient enough to put the time in with fretless, so always ended up selling them. I am having very large fretless Gas at the moment though.

Tbh it’s not so pleasant to see Possibly residual compound in the grain from a fret polish? buy a cheap toothbrush and some mineral oil (or lemon oil) and apply liberally - then scrub gently with toothbrush and wipe away with a microfibre Cloth. magic.
