Changing Satin finish to gloss?

This will do the job somewhat, and its safe for nitro, http://www.virtuosopolish.com/ Otherwise, McGuires car Scratch X followed by their Crystal Polish will do the job as well, although there has been a question as to whether or not this product contains chemicals which can make later nitro repair jobs troublesome.

The right product combined with a high enough speed buffing wheel is required, but be very careful not to burn through the finish on the edges, etc.
Right. I had a highway 1 P bass. Through the miracle of Mcguire's, and a lot of elbow grease, I put a shine on it. But you could still see a fair amount of orange peel in the finish.
I'm not, nor do I claim to know. If they indeed are not, then I would not hesitate for a minute to use the McGuire's method.

The guitar will not go to gloss as it is. They don't fill the pores, so the texture will not go away. Have it professionally shot and you will be happy. Virtuoso only works on a guitar that has been pre filled.
Send it to Jay. He has a cool spray booth. I stopped spraying guitars last year, the Pa government is too strict.

I've had at least 20 Specials & still have 2. This is my FIRST Gibson ever believe it or not. I am dying for another sustain block Special in trans green though. /emoticons/default_biggrin.png
