It is not hopeless.
will need lots of attention with some fairly large grit sandpaper then decreasing grits...then some polishing with aluminum polish and a polishing wheel. I had a couple of pretty good sized gouges in the outer rim of one of my latest set of Fuchs...I used a metal file on it to get the worst cut down and then started with the sandpaper...takes some time but it is doable. Or get ahold or Harvey or Al Weideman....they can fix just about anything on Fuchs wheels. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) If you sent them out to have a full polish, they would eliminate all those deep scratches before they started the polish. |
