Player's Kit Guitar Polish and Scratch Remover by Eternashine, with Cloth

Giving this 5 stars because it performs exactly as advertised. That said, it absolutely *will not* work on scratches that go one iota beyond the finish - it either works amazingly well or not at all depending on the scratch, and it can be a little hard to tell in advance which category a scratch is in. My guitar actually had some shipping damage in the form of scratches all over the back of the guitar - I took a discount rather than returning it - and I hoped this product would clean up most of the damage, if not all. Well, it did clean up a lot of it. The lighter scratches are *gone*, and after not much work at all. The finish is shiny and appears new on most of the guitar's back now. However, two quarter size spots it just could not do anything with at all. One of these scratches I had a feeling would be a problem, because it's more like a gouge in the top-coat - there's actually no top-coat left in this one spot. I guess I hoped this stuff might "lift" some top-coat from somewhere else and spread it back out, but it didn't. The second area is just filled with what look like tiny little scratches (from a loose staple, which caused all my damage), but I guess they are just a tiny bit too deep because the scratch remover didn't even lighten them. I redid this area several times because it looks like it should buff out, but I got nowhere. I'm happy with this purchase because I was able to at least clean things up by about half - there are still these two noticeable spots that it couldn't get out, but the back of the guitar's not just a complete mess like it was before. If this product can't get a scratch out, though, I doubt any similar product can - the next step would have to be professional finish work, which is expensive. You may as well try this first.

Awesome, Awesome stuff. I recently bought a Gibson Les Paul Less + Unfortunately they shipped it with the pick guard on it, needless to say the pick guard scratched the paint underneath where it was placed. Since I loved the figure of the finish I refused to send it back however I tried everything I could find to try to take out the rubbed dulled finish (not so much a scratch as a worn dulled area of the guitar under where the pick guard was) anyway nothing I tried worked until I used the #1 bottle of guitar player"s kit the worn out/dulled scratched area came out shinning like new the first time I tried it and if this stuff had cost $100.00 it still would have been worth it because that guitar with the original Gibson Tuner is bound to be a collectible as Gibson has replaced all these auto tuners with standard non tuning keys. I was literally at a Guitar Center when there guitar technician was completing his last Gibson guitar key replacement, when I asked why he was doing that to the 2016 guitars he informed me that Gibson had him replace all the auto tuners with standard one's the Tech also stated that more then likely anyone who had original auto tuners with the Gibson name on them would more then likely have one of few that retained that option. Anyway back to the player's kit polish I applied it once then wiped it off immediately as suggested by the manufacturer and the defect was gone just as easy as that. I mow wish I would have taken a before and after picture to prove this (too late now the dulled area is gone) and i'm not willing to scratch a probable future collectible Gibson to prove my point. Just trust me this works awesomely. shake it well rub in well on the effected area then wipe off immediately with the cloth it comes with or something just like those. Good luck removing scratches and defects, oops nevermind, if your using this stuff you don't need any luck just remember not to let it set for hours like those who have complained about it have just shake the bottle apply rubbing with some force like you want the defect out and wipe clean. Don't let it dry or set on your Guitar!! I am sounding like a commercial even to me but I don't work for this company or have any interest in them other then there produst does work. One more thing it takes very little of this stuff to work so don't smother the effected area it's mot necessary. Enjoy your new scratch free guitar.

First of all THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I never write reviews of products. I have literally bought hundreds of things on Amazon and this is the first time I have ever felt compelled to write a review of a product. I just relocated to Washington State and have been slowly taking out my guitars out of storage and cleaning them up. I found my 1984 Fender Strat that I had not played for some time. When I opened the case, I remembered why i haven't played it. Staring me in the face was physical evidence of my stupidity. I once attached a guitar to Midi pick up on this guitar. Yeah, stupid decision number one. (Seriously, a 30YO Strat?) I attached it with some double sided tape. After years of using this guitar as a midi controller, i decided to take the pick up off. Well, the tape stuck to the guitar pretty good. So to remove the remittance of the tape, I decided to scrape it off with.... wait for it...a razor. Yeah, stupid decision number two. Well I was left with a lot of really horrible scratches. I just put the guitar in the case and left it in the closet. Fast forward to last week. I saw a video for this product on YouTube and was amazed at the results that were shown. Intrigued, I did some investigation and read all of the comments that people have left after having tried the product. All and All it had fairly good reviews and decided to try it. After I ordered it I took some pictures of the scratches and I was convinced that nothing, I mean nothing was going to rectify my mistake. So to be honest when the package arrived today I entered into the project with realistic expectations, the scratches were deep into the finish and there were a lot of them; all that I could expect is that it would look better. Well I am happy to report that after 4 applications, the scratches are nearly gone. Not all gone, but mostly gone. Before you just looked at the guitar and the scratches would jump right out at you and make any guitar lover wince. Now, you have to look for where the scratches were and what you see is more indicative of what you would see from a 30 YO guitar. I am going to keep at it because the more I use it the less I see. I also tackled the back of the guitar and removed all of the belt rash and random small scratches. I LOVE this stuff. My recommendation is that if you have surface scratches on your high gloss finish, then you owe it to yourself to try this stuff. Read the instructions and go to town. They don't promise miracles and neither do I. All I can say is that It worked on my tragic case. Thank you Eternashine!!!!
