marc sawyer Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 My exlplorer (bought new) is is a bright solid red color, not sure if there is clear coat, bit not a transparent wood finish. In the area where my arm rests above the frets the finish is not dull. Maybe from sweat, maybe from wear, I don't know. There are no "bare: spots. Is there some type of rubbing compound or rubbing polish I can use to restore the shine. The rest of the guitar looks great. I guess some would call it patina, but I would like to restore the finish if possible. any recommendations. Problem #2 would probably require refinishing if I cared. There are some fine cracks in the finish that run longwise down the back/top of the neck, in the upper fret area mostly. Possibly cracks in the clear coat? and Ideas what this is about. thanks Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
