Ok, yes. That was a total misleading suggestion. I deleted any and all mention of it. I don't want anyone going down that path. There was nothing useful there except the warning to NOT use any steel wool in finishing a bass. Waxing an oil finished bass with dry 0000 steel wool and wax combined is ok but you are 100% better off with white colored non-abrasive Scotch Brite.

You bass is missing finish. It need Finish first. Then you can worry about how to polish and protect it.

Like waching and waxing a car. If the Paint is missing, there is nothing to wash or wax. It needs Paint! No?
