Re: You don't have to live with scuffs!

: My solution for the removal of scratches was
: the purchase of a fine Satin Finish Bar,
: item FB-1103 from Frei and Borel on the TZ
: Tool shop. Its around 10 dollars (USD). It
: is a hard sponge-like impregnated rubber
: block and I've had excellent results with
: it. For deeper scratches use their medium
: satin bar first. Its more abrasive....

I recently bought this product from F&B and "I second the motion". It is excellent!

Practice first on some old junk metal objects like coins or old junk jewelry so you'll see what the effect will be. I even removed the bracelet of my SMP (non-speedy-style) and covered the shiny links with masking take and carefully used the fine bar on the satin portions of the bracelet. It looks damn near new..no joke.

Good luck, MMC
