I've googled "nitrocellulose polish" all it comes up with is types of nitrocellulose lacquer. So what "nitrocellulose polish" do you have?

So what are you actually trying to do? Are you wanting to lacquer a body, or polish up the existing lacquer to make it shine?

 

Edit:
Top tip: Don't ever use any polish with silicone in it. Silicone makes the surface sticky and impossible to spray with paint of lacquer. Examples of this are: "Mr Sheen" and "Pledge"

Apologies if you know about the following:

Before you apply the polish, remove any dirt from the body with a lightly damped cotton duster (or a bit of old t-shirt). Once clean, wipe it over again with another bit of clean cotton. Then apply the polish very sparingly using a clean duster or aforementioned bit of old t-shirt.

Scrape excess gunge off the fretboard with an old credit card or similar. Don't use a metal blade. If your bass has a maple fretboard there's no point in applying fretboard conditioner; just clean the board over with a lightly damped cotton duster or rag and dry it off. If your bass has a rosewood (dark) board apply fretboard conditioner in little dabs between each fret using a bit of kitchen roll. Work the conditioner in. Less is better than more - you don't want a sticky fretboard.
