Step 6The "Big Finish"
Sorry, couldn't resist the pun...
For a final step, I used a bit of jewelers rouge on a dry cloth.
Jewelers Rouge is a very fine abrasive, and kicks the shine up that last little bit. A "polishing compound" can be substituted here. These very fine compounds are the last abrasive step in the process.
After the abrasive polishing, I also apply a quality guitar polish, which is similar to furniture polish. It can add gloss and protect the finish, but doesn't remove any finish in the process. Be sure the polish is formulated for guitars, though.
