Restoring a sanded neck back to gloss

Hi all,

 

I've picked up a mid-70s Fender neck, and the back of it has been sanded to a satin finish (looks like with wire wool or maybe light sandpaper). However, I'd like to restore it back to its original gloss finish.

 

It doesn't look like it's been taken down to the wood and Googling suggests I'll be able to polish it back, but I'm not really sure where to start! What sort of products should I be looking at?

 

Any help would be great!

For pro - polishing wheel. Although I wouldn't recommend this without experience as the risk of burning through the finish is very high.

 

By hand - car polish and lots of elbow grease. Something like Meguiars deep crystal polish. Just keep going untli you get it to the level of gloss you want. Again, work evenly across the neck rather than concentrating in one area to avoid burn through.
