    Body shined etc by hand only.

    I have sanded (wet) at 2000 grit a couple of times all over the guitar body.

    Then 4 coats of Turtle Wax Light to Medium cleaner Polishing Compound. Then 4 coats of Meguiar's Ultimate compound, and then 4 coats of Meguiar's Scratch X 2, and then 3 coats of Bowden's Own Paint Cleanse and Restore, and then one coat of Bowden's Own Carnauba Body Wax.

    The two on the bed (the gold/brown looking thing) have been this morning buffed with one coat of Bowden's Own Lazy Wax, and then one coat of Bowden's Own Fully Slick.

    I will let it hang now as I do the neck...and then it may get some more hand waxing and buffing.

    The finish is not crystal clear, but I think it is a great outcome for hand polish/buff only.
