I've done all the finishes, even plastic coating..(help) but keep returning to the french polishing. It needs time tho, and likes to sit for weeks, sinking into rosewood grain, and then continue. Its easy to do it too quickly, although tempting at times when a delivery is near and the fridge is empty! I now take 6 weeks to polish a guitar, sometimes more with rosewood. It is very enjoyable and gives me a lot of contact with the guitar to get to know it well. I use olive oil now as a lubricant and use pummice for grain filling and then cutting down as I load up. I also use tripoli powder but lost my bag of it when caught in a recent storm, along with a bunch of other stuff, including my life....!
