Step 10Buffing
Get your dremel with that buffer attachment (or even better, a buffing wheel), and start polishing your fretboard.
You could always use a cloth, but you would need massive arms for the amount of buffing you are about to do.
Buff until shiny.

Thanks! It took about 30min-1hr of buffing. I didn't write this in the instructable but if you're thinking about doing this you might want to invest in some "lemon oil" or real fretboard cleaner along with the buffing to get the frets back to the original shine. This depends on the wood of your neck though, but in my case the frets looked kinda dry (needed a little bit of oiling)

Yeah, I haven't tried it just yet because despite the fact that my main guitar is just a measly Peavey Falcon, it's one of the few that were actually made in the US and my parents bought it for me when I was 13... So I was pretty hesitant on trying this out on it. BUUUUUT I've since acquired a third guitar to be my "tester" so we'll see how this goes! (And thanks for the oil tip, the fretboard is pretty "high shine" and I'd hate for the scalloped frets to look weird once I've put the work in!)
