And that’s honest relicing.Best way of protecting a satin finish (nitro?) Is to not play it.
Even without picking up scratches and dents (which I don't think per se satin is more susceptable to) it doesn't take much playing for satin areas to before gloss areas. I've just embraced the natural relicing and allowing mine to wear and pick up dents and 'features' naturally. Even if the body held up perfectly my nickel pickup covers and bridge have dulled and the finish has started to wear off so it's relicing anyway
I’m told I’m dead wrong on this, but…Hi All, I've got a gorgeous satin finish CE24 which, as you may know, is extremely susceptible to chips and scratches. Someone mentioned I can use carnauba (car) wax to protect it - anyone tried this?
Thanks!

Carnauba wax is so hard that they mix in petrochemicals to soften it. It's received by the wax companies in hard pellets. Then they mix in the petrochemicals.Hi All, I've got a gorgeous satin finish CE24 which, as you may know, is extremely susceptible to chips and scratches.
