Hi Folks, Been buffing and polishing the truck over the last few weeks, and took a look at the front emblem, and see that it has significant scratching. Before considering replacing with a rerpo unit, I have been trying to clean it up, with little success.
Here's what I've tried.
- hand polish with Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream (no improvement)
- Hand rub with Steel wool #000 (no improvement)
- Hand Sand with 3000 grit sand paper (more scratches, but uniform)
- Hand rub with Steel wool #0000 again (slight improvement in scratches)
- Hand polish with Blue Magic Metal polish Cream (no change)

Getting frustrated that there is nothing I can do to get the scratches out, and should just buy a repro unit.
THoughts on what I could do to save the original part?
