I posted this a while back but I think it got lost in the thread...Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be advisable on an ultra-thin lacquer finished cedar top?
I would really like this guit up a little, but the manufacturer, of course, highly advises against anything of this sort (as most do). Any pitfalls you can see?
Which guitar is it?

Art & Lutherie cedar dred.
As long as it doesn't void your warrenty.........the nitro has to be a certain thickness to adhere and to buff out. so it can't be all that ultra thin that you can't polish it.
Meguires scratch X will do a wonderful job. I use it on nitro all the time.
Trick to it is using the cotten cloth on a small wedge of flat wood. that get's into the bridge and fretboard areas and doesn't leave that ghosting around those areas.

Am I understanding you to say to wrap a cloth around a small piece of wood so that I can get into these small areas in order to keep the application/buffing consistent?
Peter, do you recommend just the scratch x to polish out the finish or do you also do another step? Thanks for your help.
