Refurbishing question

[Tinman]

I hope this is in the right place.

Does anyone know what the best stuff would be to remove scratches etc from a gloss laquered finish?

I got some nasty scuffs and marks on my Eggle that I'd like to try and remove.

Cheers

T-Cut's probably your best bet

Thanks mate.

I tried some T-cut in a little area on the back and it seems to have left a kind of misty look to it. I was just wondering if the was something else out there.

after you've used the T-cut, you need to polish it back to shiny again

What would I use for the final polish? I'm thinking maybe you mean some kind of wax car polish, would that be right?

Automotive products generally work, but they are designed for removing oxidised lacquer and paint so I'd not use them too often as they do actually remove a fine layer. Saying that, there is a product in a tube called scratch remover or similar, that works very well - found in Halfords.

Guitar polish is quite good also and Fender do a 'swirl remover' product by Meguiars that they claim does the trick, though I've yet to try it.

Thanks muppet, I'll look into that
