how to shine/polish a guitar table after sanding with 1000grit paper? I just dropped some black super glue on the table of my PRS SE, rubbing alcohol didn't even touch it! Neither did 2500 grit paper so I used 1000 grit paper which removed the glue but has left the surface dull/rough/matt, and the shine has gone! Is there a way to restore the shine without clear coating the whole thing? I tried some D'Addario PW-PL-02S Liquid Carnauba with a microfibre cloth without much success, but I only did it briefly! many thanks! |

Go back to your 2500 grit and work the area. You may need to use some interim grits. Then work it with rubbing compound then polishing compound |

What Glen says. Go back up the grits from 1000 - 1200, 1500, 2000 and your 2500 (wet). Then polish with a good compound (I use Meguiers #2 and 3) without wax or silicon. |

That is a very fine compound and might not be enough to get out 1000 grit, or finer, scratches. You might want to start with a more aggressive cutting compound. |

There are a lot of compounds that would work, but this is my preference: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-Mirror-Glaze-Ultra-Cut-Compound/dp/B01LRHDOUC/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=meguiars+105&qid=1602598287&quartzVehicle=106-1339&replacementKeywords=meguiars&sr=8-1 |
