Polishing light scratches from Mont Blanc “Precious Resin”

[RJM25R]

I’ve got a few Mont Blanc pens and most are in very good nick but I’ve got one that I use most which has got some light “scratches” around the tube and lid.

What’s best for getting them out?????

I hasten to add that I've never actually tried it on a polymer pen but Brasso works really well on acrylic watch crystal.

Sounds daft but try a car polish. Maybe Autogoym Super Resin Polish. His fillers as well so might sort it without being too harsh.

Poly watch?

All good suggestions!!!

I’ve got some of the stuff mentioned so I’ll have a try!!!

Definitely Brasso. I've restored several vintage and modern pens with this.

SILVO

BRASSO can be just a little harsher than SILVO depends on how deep the marks are .

Leave it to dry to a powdery finish - then polish off with a microfibre or old school yellow duster.

If the pens have scratches and not just 'swirlies', and you're reasonably dextrous and not cack-handed, a nail buffer from Superdrug works very well. Buy the 3-coloured one and use the least aggressive colour along the line of the scratch, not across it, blending it into the surrounding surface, then finish with a polish of your choice.
