Hey lads, first forum post here
Working on my second build, first was a tele (that I'm not exactly happy with, but I'm sure looks nice to someone)
Anyway, just wondering what steps should be taken after applying the final poly coat?
I'm thinking using some car polish and buffing is a nice approach.
Cheers!
You've pretty much got it Noah!

Just make sure you allow it to cure! At least 2-3 weeks in this colder weather
Hi Noah,
as you suggested get a decent car polish and as Nick says give it plenty of time to cure.
Quite a few on the forum have had good results from Meguiars polishes
