A must have for smooth playing frets
These are great for cleaning the debris/gunk that builds up on your frets after gigging.
Every time I restring my guitar, I give all the frets a scrub with this polishing paper. It can almost feel like you're going down a string gauge, as once you've played with dirty frets vs ones cleaned with the polishing paper, you'll notice a big difference in playability. It's so much smoother.
You'll get several uses out of one piece too.
Combined with the XLR8 string wipe, it's a must have for optimal performance and making your strings last and stay fresh for longer.

Does a good job for a decent price
I used it on a few guitars/basses some newer and some older that haven't had their frets polished for years. It does a decent job especially to guitars that have not been neglected for a very long time. It does not make a mess and you get a good fret shine (there is a really obvious difference in the fret feel too). You could use a sheet for about 1 to 1 and a half times depending on the fret state (so 2 sheets for 3 complete fretboard polishes). Does not leave debris and if you are a bit careful there is no real danger of damaging the wood. A good product overall.

This is a must have
At first I didn't know that such a product exists. I have 3 guitars and one of them (actually my first ever guitar) is 20 years old and needs to be repaired. On top of that, the frets began to get that rusty color and I thought that I just might have to change them. I used this product and now they shine like new ones. Though I had to rub them for a total of 2 hours and spend almost all of the papers in the package. But that was the case for that particular guitar only. Usually it takes some minutes and you can only spend 1 paper per guitar.
Now I use it about 2 times a year on each guitar and the frets are coming back to life again.
Pros: it gets the job done
Cons: its not easy to keep the fret template in place when rubbing
This is a no brainer product if you care about your guitars. I totally recommend it as a must have alongside your other maintenance tools.

Decent shine
Comes with 5 papers, I managed to polish all frets on my guitar with just 1 piece of paper, might have been easier if I had cut them up into smaller squares, but it still worked out fine.
The fret guide wasn't amazing, since it's a thin piece of card and can move around quite easily. I used painters tape instead of the guides to protect my fretboard. The frets certainly aren't as rough as they were prior to using these papers, so I can say for certain that they do something. The frets aren't super shiny, nor did the papers remove much material. If you need to remove more material from your frets then I would suggest another product, but for a quick touch-up these are more than enough.
I'd recommend for sure, especially since you get 5 in 1 pack. Cheers!

One pack is enough for a lot of guitars!
Because you don’t have to polish your guitar’s frets anytime you restring it, this one lasts a long-long time. I usually keep one of these packs around to give newly purchased, brand new guitars a little polish. They do the job, and you can get away with using only one sheet for one guitar. Worth the price. I’d recommend getting a proper metal fingerboard guard though, I will probably get one too.

Quality product!
Cleans really well, although it won't clean completely your frets if they have some kind of "tougher" corrosion on it, but that won't be a problem if you service your guitars regularly!
Verdict: Definitely recommending this, pretty useful and cheap product!

Not quite a "system"
Package just contains 5 identical polishing cloths. Nothing more, nothing less. Based on the naming, I expected a system with various coarseness (from coarse to ultra-fine).
The simple cloths seem to do something as they turn grey where I have been polishing the frets. I do however not notice much difference. Perhaps the frets were already in an okay enough condition to begin with.
All in all this was an underwhelming product for me.

It works
It works as advertised, included abrasive sheets are good for cleaning grime from the frets and get them back to a nice even shine.
The included paper fretboard guard is a bit flimsy though, I wouldn't trust it to protect well. It's better to invest in a steel fretboard guard before starting polishing.

Brought the frets back to their former glory
My guitar's frets were in need of help, feeling a bit like playing on sandpaper whenever I bent a string!
The Planet Waves polishing system comes we 5 sheets of polishing paper and a cardboard fret protector template.
Just place the protector over the fret and then rub a paper over the fret for a few seconds (7 or 8 seems to do the trick for less troublesome frets) and the frets come up shining like new!
Couldn't be happier :)

convenient
A bit expensive for what is included, but does the job in a clean way unlike other solutions with polishing paste that needs cleaning, etc
