Fret polishing kits

[Grassie]

Hi folks,

Any recommendations for fret polishing kits? I’ve just acquired a Highway One Jazz and the frets are, quite frankly, grim. That bloke Paul from Milehouse Studios (check out his YT channel, highly entertaining) would have a field day with this particular bass…

What are you guys using…?

[neepheid]

Fine steel wool.  Yes, keep it away from pickups...

[AMV001]

8000 grit micro mesh polishing cloths.

I bought this kit to sort out a badly finished guitar. Also bought a fret end file (via Amazon IIRC).

This. Cover the pickups with masking tape or they will be coated in fine steel fur for ever. Clean the board with meths, naphtha or similar when you're done with the steel wool, wipe down with a suitable thin oi and all will be luverly.
