    mexican Fender Telecaster restored

    A friend of mine called me to see if I could do anything with the paint on the guitar he just bought as he was rebuilding it and bringing it up to USA specs. So as usual I took the challenge.

    Paint correction only job (literally)

    Some folks just don't realize the effort it takes to bring a terrible paint condition back into the realm of decent looking. The owner of this Chevy Tahoe is a guy I went to high school with.

    Duragloss Fast Clean & Shine Detail Spray #921

    Anyone used this stuff? I saw it at a local place for $4.95 a bottle, I have a gallon of spray and gloss so I don't really need some but I know how I am. Do you think a product like this would have a shelf life that may have expired? The place I found it at has probably had it for some time.

    Has anyone here ever seen or heard of a finishing polish that is clear? I am not talking about a LSP that these various companies call a polish like TW Ice etc. But an actual polish.
