I've been looking into getting a Hwy 1, in Daphne blue, but the matte finish looks kinda primer-like (in most of the pics). I saw in the 'show us your strat' thread, someone polished the finish on one, and from the pic, it looked much better. My question is, what do you polish the finish up with, and does the daphne blue look pretty much like the normal, glossy daphne blue after it's buffed out?

Thanks!
Pat

I own a black one and just by playing it the area where my right arm rubs against the body was shining up on the 1st day I owned it. I love mine and I too have thought about shining the rest of mine up. I would as a professional, but they make some really good waxes and use a really soft cotton cloth. I used to shine black army boots and a cotton T-shirt works well.

I prefer the Satin finish on my Black Highway 1, in fact that is one of the reasons I bought it.
