Brilliant shine
I bought this to refinish a guitar that I'm working on. It dries quickly. Although it's dry in a day, I allow 3 days between coats.I rub it with 0000 steel wool and then wet sand it with 2000 grit sandpaper. The finishing touch is hand rubbing it with Turtle Wax Polishing Compound. The end result is a mirror like shine. Whether you are finishing a guitar, a boat or a piece of furniture this Rustoleum Spar Varnish is the stuff you need for a brilliant shine.
