Wot Tony sed re Brasso...
I have wet sanded DT up to 2500 and then buffed out the finish with a smear of Behlen de luxing compound..
But no reason why you couldnt use swirl remover to get that final shine.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!
DO NOT use any product that contains silicone on your guitar....
Finally, that axe is looking the biz
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

No worries, I won't use any Brasso on the Strat body, I'm really happy with the results I'm getting on the Strat body DB, thank you for convincing me to give Coolangatta Gold a go on my first guitar kit build, that goes for you too Wokka.
It's been a real fun experience doing the beta-testing, hope to do more in the future.
I use synthetic Steel wool for everything, frets and even down to final finishing before i get into with polish.

Cheers, might see if I can buy some of that locally in Darwin.
Update:
Just got another notification in my email saying that my order for the three new Entwistle ASN57 pickups is now complete....woohoo!!
I wasn't sure if the money-transfer had been processed, but there you go, all i have to do now is wait for them to turn up in the post.
It is good stuff.
The Sandpaper man in Brisvaugeness stocks it.

Here's something I want to ask you DB, since my next build is going to be a TL-51 Tele kit, what are the chances of you doing a Dingotone kit in TV Yellow, or something approximating the TV Yellow colour?
Doc, DB mentioned a TV yellow stain for his tele bass in the new thread, sure he can make one up for you.
You may want another colour with a gold strat

Oops, I think I might have missed that, I'll have to check that thread out, I know but when I first saw that TL-51 kit amongst the other Tele kits the first thing that popped into my mind was "I want to build one in TV Yellow, like the originals", I can always build another Tele in a different colour.
