I bought my Valk when it was one year old and the original owner had left the safety sticker on. I had it off about 5 minutes after I got home using methods I no longer remember. Then, I wiped the tank down with WD-40 and everything looked good.
But, I've come to realize that when the tank surface dries that I have tiny white scratches in the clear coat starting at where the outside of the sticker was and extending out about 3/16 inch.
It's no biggie, but I'd like to get rid of those really fine scratches. I have on hand some Flitz metal polish (and of course, toothpaste). I was wondering if any body has tried to polish clear coat with some mild abrasive like either one of those and did it successfully. Or am I flirting with danger even thinking about such a thing?
