Ahmed Flamenco -> How to remove a dent from a polished surface? (Feb. 22 2014 22:40:59)

Hi everybody
I've just bought a new flamenco guitar and it is awesome but there is a little thing that makes me angry
there is a small dent in the neck close to the first fret
Is there any kind of polish I can use to solve this problem?

What is the finish on the guitar? If it is french polish you can pumice it out I would not do this unless you know how to french polish though. That's about it really if you want to make look as good as new!

If It's a thick Polyurethane finish you might, 'MIGHT' be able to sand the dent out and buff the finish back up again. This is still pretty tough to do and would also suggest giving it to someone who knows what they are doing.

It has a gloss finish

Do you know what material the finnish is? as in Shelac, Polyurethane or Cellulose? being the most common guitar finishes. They can all be gloss.

I really don't know
but how can I differentiate?

what guitar is it? most of the time you can find out what the finish is with a little research

Its a Valencia guitar, so I I´m 95% sure its polyurethane. Personall, if the dent is not very big and if it doesnt interfere when playing, I would just leave it and learn to live it. Then you dont have to make the first dent yourself.
I personally have dents all over my body and I have learned to live with them.

so,it might cause a problem if i get the polyurethane and put it on the dent?

You forgot polyester which is probably the most common finish for factory guitars.

Is the dent ONLY in the finish?? If so that's really nothing....

I have found that various finishes, including the polyester finishes which are often used on factory guitars, can be repaired with Super Glue and sanded and polished to give an invisible or nearly invisible repair. So I would suggest filling in the dent with Super Glue, letting it dry, seeing if you need to do it again to fill it to the level of the rest of the finish, letting that dry, then carefully sanding with 600 grit up to 2000 grit, then polishing with mirror glaze auto body polish or something similar.
