Summary edit

Description

Just about done removing grime and swirl marks using Kit brand Scratch Out. A Craftsman C3 cordless buffer with a super soft terrycloth pad made it easy. The neck required no trussrod adjustment and is arrow straight. Only a light filing was needed to bring 3 or 4 fret heights into perfect alignment.

Brasso and a cotton Dremel tip were used to polish the frets. I sliced a square template out of a Coke can to protect the fingerboard as each fret was buffed to a high shine.

The fingerboard was cleaned with Murphy Oil Soap, then 4 or 5 applications of lemon oil were needed to reduce the overall dryness, darkening the wood and bringing out a nice clean finish. Finally, Meguiars Carnauba paste wax was buffed onto the body, headstock, and back of the neck. Four coats were applied with 24 hours between each to let the wax cure. A final buffing with a lambswool pad perfected the finish.
