satin polishing ?
is it o.k.to polish a satin finish guitar? I'm worried that the polish will sink in and change the look and more importantly the sound. any opinions?

ambiguous 'satin'
Does OP's guitar have a smooth finish or a pore-showing non-shiny finish? It matters. I finish my guitars with a 'satin', as opposed to 'gloss', finish, but they are as fully finished as gloss finishes just not shiny. That sort of finish can be buffed. The open pored finishes, I think, don't have enough finish on then to allow buffing.

Welcome to the AGF. If you mean polish with a product, be careful what you choose. Some products are not recommended for open pore or satin finishes because the wax can build up. I use Music Nomad's "Guitar Detailer," which is different than their "One" product b/c it's safe for use on open pore, satin, ukuleles, etc. I use their "One" product on my gloss finished tops, but sparingly... mostly, I just use a clean, dry (or slightly damp) cloth to keep it clean. Hope this helps!
