How to polish you pick scratch marks?

[sickindian]

I was wondering how do you guys maintain your guitar to be shiny ?

That how it looks after 8 years.

Thanks, Larry.

I actually like the scuffs as it shows the instrument is being used as long as it isn't battered it looks good, that's my opinion anyway.

Yup that's the stuff I used very successfully. Their web site includes photos of my Albert before and after.

Nice! I'll have to give this stuff a try. All my guitars get this. I prefer to keep my nails short for general playing but I'm constantly needing my nails for hybrid picking stuff.

Guitar Scratch Remover works amazingly well - can't recommend it enough...

These were quite deep scratches hence my question could you not feel them after it was done?

Just remember elbow grease. It will take a few applications to start seeing progress.

Change your technique, there's no excuse for messing up your guitar like that.

I would say live with it - its a working instrument not a museum piece!

Same here.
These things add character to your guitar, man... don't remove 'em!

It changed a bit but it still remains a mystery how it happened as i dont really swipe my hand too much over pickups nor i do play often.

I use Meguire's Swirl Mark Remover on my EBMM with microfiber towels - it works perfectly (although requiring a lot of elbow grease). You can then finish it off with a coat of the NXT polymer if you really want a deep shine.

Remember to tape off the pickup cavities so product doesn't get into the spaces.

I agree that authentically earned "relic-ing" makes a guitar look better...but it sho don't increase it's resale value.

No I can't feel anything at all.
The scratch wasn't down to the wood otherwise I would not have got the end result.
Take a look at this video clip which shows no evidence of the scratch.
VVVVVVVVVVVV

When I redid my JP6 I discovered that the top coat of lacquer is quite thick.

This thread shows the full details of me doing the work on the Albert:-
