I just received handmade that has a mirror finish. I noticed several places, e.g., the spine, butt end, and near the choil, where the finish is cloudy or milky-looking. There is a term for this but I can't recall it. I believe it's caused when the polishing or finishing wheel jumps or runs off the edge abruptly, sort of out of control. Please enlighten me :)
 
I'm not sure what it is called myself, but if you use some Flitz or Happich Simichrome polish, you can probably get rid of it.

You might want to ask the maker to do that for you (privately of course).
