Wudtone/Osmo to finish a neck?

Sorry to resurrect this one @lovestrat74 I took the guitar apart at the weekend and sanded the back of the neck and the headstock with 600 and 1200 sandpaper and the fretboard I went over with 0000 wire wool and the 1200 sandpaper.  I'm wary of not taking enough off but don't want to use anything too course on the fretboard.  My neck has a satin finish rather than thick poly - just wondered what you used to take your finish off and how you knew you had taken enough off?

I can't remeber the grit I used but you will know when the finish is off becasue you will feel the grain of the wood.  It won't be super smooth.  You can always test a small area to see if the finish sinks in.

3 coats on so far and really pleased with it, I think one more coat and then it will be ready.  I'm also going to try and age the chrome with a tub of screws followed by white vinegar (see aging with vinegar thread).
