Has anyone ever tried to buff out scuffs and light scratches in the LSI series? Wondering if it can be done, and how to do it...

    Flitz polish - small dab on a damp soft cloth, work it around, then buff w/ a dry soft cloth

    3M polishing products are excellent.

    3M's stuff is very good, as well as Macquiars Scratch-x. Start with light pressure.

    For little nicks & scratches, I have had good luck with a bit of walnut (the meat NOT the shell) smashed onto the scratch then rubbed to get the nut oil onto the wood; pick off the excess nut meat and buff with a soft cloth.

    For stuff like water marks I use Howard Restor-A-Finish followed by Howard Feed-N-Wax. Great products.

    Cheers, Jim
