Removing Hairline Scratches on Equipment


I have a few pieces of audio gear that have a few very light hair scratches on the facet.

Peticuliar piece, I have a silver Threshod S/200 amplifier.
I've had this amplifier for many years and just noticed a few hairline scratches on the facet. Probably the damm cat over the years.

How do you remove very fine hairline scratches on a silver Threshold amplifer without discoloring the metal or making it worse ?

THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HELP.

Try going to an auto supply store like Pep Boys and looking for something called Scratch Remover. Get in your color, if there is a choice. It's a paste-like compound. While you're there, think about picking up some auto body wax with light abrasives. There used to be something called Rubbing Compound No. 7.

Before going ahead with these on your faceplate, try them on an inconspicuous location, like a bottom edge, just to be sure there isn't any gross discoloration or unacceptable surface abrasion. Good luck.
