Good evening community ladies and gentlemen.
I recently purchased a 2000 LX5 antique tobacco satin in overall very good condition.
However, it has 4 or 5 not-too-deep body dings resulting in millimetric white spots in the finish.
I wanted to ask if anyone has experience in fixing these small blemishes in satin finishes without having to strip and reapply laquer (in other words, if light sanding + polishing will do the trick).
The body had some polished spots from normal use, which I returned to all of its matte gloriousness with some careful good old scotchbrite pad magic.
I have just repaired a couple small wood dings in my oil Thumb with very light work and it looks completely new, but I'm thinking that any lacquer finish will present a bigger challenge.
Hoping you can help.
Thanks everyone. Be safe.
