Buff out a scratch?

[ninemm]

So, got my Mac's EDC in aluminum yesterday. Love the light and have been playing with it non-stop. It got it's first love mark today from my wedding band I think. Created a small swirly scuff mark where the head starts to flare out. Is there any way to buff that out? Please let me know!

Thanks guys!

Use 0000 very fine steel wool. Should come out beautifully.

Thank you Troy! I was :sweating: That's the last time I gave a light to my co-worker to check out.

At least one that I:

A. Care about
B. Just received
C. Isn't hard coated in some fashion

Bare aluminum is, by far, the easiest metal to work with when you have a small scratch, because it's so soft. You can also use my personal favorite, "Nevr-Dull" polishing cloth when you're done working out the little scratch. It'll shine up beautifully then!

I have Nevr-Dull already. Bought it to polish up some aluminum bits on my car. :thumbsup:

Hey Troy! All that was needed was some Nevr-Dull and elbow grease. Looks perfect now. Thanks for reminding me I had some of that stuff.
