Hi All,
I've taken a scotchbrite pad to the top of my Black Harley Benton HB-35 in an attempt to dull down the super glossy poly finish. It's getting to where I want it to be, in terms of the feel, but what I want to do is now blacken it up a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can rub over it to get the blackness back? The scotchbrite has left it looking a bit milky. When I rub the surface with some naptha/ lighter fuel to clean off the sanding residue it gives me exactly the colour, until it evaporates away then it returns to a paler version. I suppose I'm looking for something like the old car back to black product, but a guitar version! I tried a applying some car wax, but it didn't give me the desired colour. Any help would be much appreciated.

A blend of finest beeswax, spirits, pure soap and essential oils based closely on an original recipe dating from 1760 with both cleaning and polishing properties.
Briwax according to the Rustins website is:
A traditional formulation using only refined Natural Beeswax and Carnauba Wax.
Does the Carnauba wax make that much of a difference?

Another thought for your body, I'm currently making an ES335 with a body sprayed with Holts metallic car spray over white primer finished with a matte clear coat. Works for me.
