Hello,

I have felt installed on my PF sides and yet still got some decent scratches last night when I was installing something on my TZ.

Scratches are a little deep and on one side.

Anyone know how to get them out? Buffing wheel? Wool? etc....

***BUMP***

I read about wet sanding with like 1,000 or 2,000 grit somewhere here. Not sure if it was for mirror blades though? It may have been legs or lock bar...I just can't remember. Let's bump you up and maybe someone knows

Man you better have a pair of brass ones to take sandpaper to mirror blades. I would try some metal polish but if they're real deep then all bets are off. Anyways free bump, hope someone has ideas.

Yeah...gotta be careful. That is why I wish I knew what you use and what I read before. It does depend on how deep the scratch is though right? If it is real deep maybe you do need something aggressive and then soften up in stages until you are ready to polish? Not a pro. Need one to help this pinsider though. Fingers crossed someone helps

Did you buy them from Joey @ Pinball Decals?

If so, his are metal and he says the scratches will buff out.

If so again, give him a shout and please report the recommendation back in the thread.
