The sides and bottom plates of the pickups are also polished with the compound as they are worked around.  I WOULD NOT DARE TOUCH THE FINELY ETCHED PLASTIC HOLOGRAM INSERTS ....NOR THE CHROME AROUND THEM EXCEPT FOR CAREFULLY WIPING THE CHROME WITH ACE LUB-E MISTED Q-TIPS ONCE THE GUITAR IS ASSEMBLED, ....MAKING SURE THAT NO CHEMICAL AT ALL TOUCHES THE HOLOGRAMS !
