Remove Scratches?

decodeddiesel · 07-19-2002, 03:55 PM

Has anyone figured out a good, cheap, and easy way to remove small scratches to Aluminum cases? My Lian Li has a few small scratches, while they are not that noticable I would like to take them out as they detract from the beauty of the case. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nope, no ideas, but you might consider varnishing it, to help make sure it doesn't get scratched again.

The finish is a brushed Alu, very hard to fix.

It is so much worse that just brushed aluminum, it's ANODISED brushed aluminum so sanding is definately NOT an option... just my 2 cents.
