refurbish wood?

[Legoman]

my burl wood trim is all in good nick apart from the one in the centre with the electric window buttons etc , on this its got scratches and looks a bit faded , obviously the previous owner ( a bloke i know at work who looked after it religously apart from this ofc!) had a habit of putting items down on it. any tips to restore it myself?

I saw a post once on a full refurbish. Looked like a lot of effort as he stripped it down to base wood and relaquered it. Beyond my abilities anyway.
It was A US site I think.
Personally I'd hire a French Polisher for an hour!

Its not french polish, its a 2 pack clear, any body shop could re spray it with a two component clear

Hi,
Mine is the same, If its only 2 pack, could it be polished out with T cut etc? How does it come off?

When I respray wood, I flat after spraying with a 1200 paper then polish with Tcut, and Tcut will remove surface scratches, do take care on the edges

Is the wood just stuck down or held on with clips or something?

 

[Legoman]

the panel is screwwed down , inside the centre compartment box theres two screws to remove that , then theres one holding the panel down , it slides out after this , but go careful with the switchs as there holders are stapled into wood , gentle encouragement to disconnect the panel is needed
