Thread: Removing scuff marks from scales

Need advice for removing light scuffs, not deeper scratches from scales.
Do you wet sand? Polish?
What grit papers or compound to use?

Appreciate the advise.

It depends how deep. If not bad 1000,1500,2000,2500 grits wet or dry. Then polish with Mother's.
Works on horn, bone, celluloid, hard rubber.

This is what I use, found at Sally's Beauty Supply.

This work for me too. Works great! I use Mother's Plastic Polish. Good for taking the scratches outta yer safety glasses, too.

Never thought of using a nail buffer. Great idea. Thanks.

What are the scales made of? Is this a valuable razor? Does it have sentimental value? Or, is it a day to day shaver?

I would use different approaches based on the answers to these questions.

Your welcome,,, Sally's is a treasure of tools for buffing leather, plastic, glass, metal and just about anything that needs buffing.

Sally's would be a fine place to set up the honing table? Right out on the sidewalk?

"Now,, Willis !!"

If they are not terrible I take mothers polish on my finger and scrub then buff with microfiber towel.
