Polishing an epoxy coated fretboard

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey all

I'm almost through with my epoxy coating, it looks great so far (Thanks to Linas' tutorial), but I have not been able to find much info on what product to use for a final, glossy, mirror-like finish. Wet sanding, even with micro-abrasives, leaves a satin finish, I'd like it a bit shiner....

Any ideas?

Any suggestions on brands/types of buffing wax? Are there different grades? I'm new at this!

Thanks!
