I have a new American Sienna Sunburst finish Strat - complete with some scratches courtesy of the shop tech. Normally I wouldn't bother about such things but I just wondered if there's any kind of polish / treatment that might be good for this ... any ideas?

"Carnauba" wax is what is used in high-end polishes. 8)

The "Jim Dunlop Bodygloss 65 Cream of Carnauba" is good for sealing small cracks and scratches.

The makers of Big Bends Nut Sauce also make a polish that supposed to remove small scratches and swirl marks.I believe it's just simply called Big Bends fine scratch remover.
