Re: More on scotch brite
In Response To: Re: More on scotch brite ()

: I'd be real careful with scotchbrite, it's more
: like a low-grey sandpaper and changes the
: finish more radically than the product
: below.

: I think if you buy a "fine" satin bar
: (not "medium"...too rough)from
: Frei & Borel, you'll get results that
: exceed scotchbrite.

: Another word of advice - don't buff out
: scratches very often. The effect of numerous
: scratch removals will eventually wear out
: the general shape of the clasp and ruin the
: appearance of the lettering. Better to
: "let it go" for a long period of
: time and then buff them all with the satin
: bar, than to nit-pick each and every little
: scratch. You will drive yourself crazy.

: Just my opinion, but based on years of
: experience.

Thanks for the info....hopefully I won't scratch if for a long time (^&^)
